Used in the doctors' demonstration

The doctors' demonstration paraphrases passages from Decision making and consent and cites their paragraph numbers. The paraphrase is ours, labelled as a demonstration, and checked against this capture. It is not the GMC's wording, and the GMC has not reviewed it. Compare any answer with the GMC's page above.

Please read this first. A catalogue of GMC documents and web pages that Humanity Incorporated captured from the GMC's public website on 7 October 2026: titles, the GMC's own addresses, and dates as the captured text prints them. The GMC has not reviewed or endorsed it. It is incomplete, and a date here is the one printed when it was captured, not a check that the guidance is still current. Read the GMC's own page before relying on any of it. Being listed here does not mean Relay answers from a document.

The doctors' demonstration answers from a small set of passages we paraphrased and checked against this capture. Those are marked below as used in the demonstration.
