The UK General Medical Council (GMC) has issued a formal apology for its past actions of striking off doctors based on their sexuality. This apology addresses historical regulatory actions against doctors who were convicted under laws that have since been repealed. The apology was welcomed by campaigners but highlighted that LGBTQ+ doctors still face prejudice in the workplace. The significance of the GMC's apology is being scrutinized in terms of its impact on the experiences of current LGBTQ+ staff and those in other minority groups.
