This podcast will facilitate a discussion with two senior figures from the General Medical Council: CEO and Registrar Charlie Massey and Director of Registration and Revalidation Una Lane. They will discuss how the GMC regulates and the challenges it faces, as well as wider issues of interest to other regulators. The audience of the Regulation Podcast is professional regulators and those interested in regulation. The Institute of Regulation has 60 corporate regulator members, around 40% of the UK regulatory community, as well as 15 corporate affiliate members from commercial firms that supply and work with regulators, including consultancies, search firms and IT companies, and also over 200 individual members. The podcast also has a domestic and an international audience among regulators (of up to 500 listens per episode) including in Australia and New Zealand. Some UK civil servants listen too. Previous podcasts are at: https://ioregulation.org/podcast and are on Spotify.The podcast is hosted by Marcial Boo, chair of the Institute of Regulation, and CEO of four regulators over his career, currently regulating insolvency and bankruptcy financial services. The sound engineer for the podcast is Neil Bowerman. Neil will send out professional microphones to participants in advance, upon receipt of addresses.On the day of the recording, after we have checked the technical requirements and the recording has started, Marcial will introduce the topic of the podcast and the guests. The podcast will last around 30 minutes in total. It will be conversational in style. We discourage long pre-prepared ‘speeches’, and aim for shorter interventions, but equally we are happy for participants to get across their key messages and promote their work. Any bad ‘mistakes’ can be edited out, but we will record it ‘as live’. An outline script for the podcast is below to allow for preparation. But we may deviate ‘off script’ to pursue an interesting issue or cut questions short to end on schedule.
