Reporting Infractions

Complaints against a registered medical practitioner should be made to the Council in writing and include the nature of the complaint, the date the offence took place and the signature of the offended person.

The Council then forms a Complaints Committee consisting of 3 council members, who further investigates the matter. The following steps may be taken:

1. The Registrar notifies the practitioner against whom the complaint is made of the complaint and requests a written explanation of the offending actions and any other information relevant to the complaint.
2. The Complaints Committee considers the nature of the complaint and the given explanation, and decides whether to dismiss the complaint or to refer the case to the Disciplinary Committee.
3. The Secretary to the Council informs both the offended person and the practitioner against whom the complaint is filed of its decisions and further actions to be taken.
