Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what training is provided to GPs to ensure that they have adequate knowledge of the (a) causes and (b) health management of adult and paediatric incontinence.

All United Kingdom registered doctors are expected to meet the professional standards set out in the General Medical Council’s (GMC) Good Medical Practice. In 2012 the GMC introduced revalidation which supports doctors in regularly reflecting on how they can develop or improve their practice, gives patients confidence doctors are up to date with their practice and promotes improved quality of care by driving improvements in clinical governance.
