The Royal College of Surgeons is a registered charity that is committed to enabling surgeons to achieve and maintain the highest standards of surgical practice and patient care.

The GMC registers doctors to practise medicine in the UK. Their purpose is to protect, promote and maintain the health and safety of the public by ensuring proper standards in the practice of medicine. They accomplish that by controlling entry to the medical register and setting the standards for medical schools and postgraduate education and training. They also determine the principles and values that underpin good medical practice and take firm but fair action where those standards have not been met. They have strong and effective legal powers designed to maintain the standards the public have a right to expect of doctors. They exist to protect patients.
The GMC Specialist Register is a register of doctors who are eligible to work as substantive, fixed term or honorary consultants in the health service in the UK. Doctors need to apply for entry onto the Specialist Register and meet the criteria set down in legislation. They will have completed a period of formal specialist training in the UK certified by the Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board (PMETB). Mr Pacifico is on the GMC specialist register for Plastic Surgery.
