Details

This document sets out our approach to sharing information where there are concerns that a member of the Home Secretary’s Register of Forensic Pathologists (the ‘Home Secretary’s Register’) may pose a risk to public safety or public confidence in the criminal justice system or medical profession. It is a prerequisite of membership of the Home Secretary’s Register that a forensic pathologist must be registered with the GMC and licensed to practise.
