Terms of Service for Doctors

These Terms of Service were replaced by the new GMS Contract in April 2003. They are maintained on this site for information only. For up to date regulations go to the GMS Tool.

This copy of the NHS (General Medical Services) Regulations has been electronically reproduced from a version published March 1999 by the GPC secretariat which was the 1996 consolidated version, additionally incorporating seven further statutory instruments (SI). Although the document has been checked for errors, it is intended only as a guide for members and constituents of the GPC WM, and has no official status. For a statement of law, reference must be made to the appropriate statutory instrument.
