"Leaving the medical profession turned out to be slightly more complicated
than I had imagined"
I chickened out and retained GMC registration without a license to practice
rather than chase bits of paper...
Of course, this may backfire on me: the Responsible Officer doesn't know me
- records from the PCT unlikely to be available - and in many practices,
there may be no partners left to give assurances of Good Behaviour!
(would anyone say, "no, although he/she is not currently reported to the
GMC, we expect him/her to be reported any moment now: please don't let
him/her/it deregister!"

Taking 2010/11 as a baseline (100%), drawings for a full-time partner
in our practice fell to 93.5% in 2011/12, and to 92.4% in 2012/13.
Best prediction for 2013/14 is 91.0% but it may turn out to be less.
I sling my hook on 1st April. Leaving the medical profession turned
out to be slightly more complicated than I had imagined. First I had
to get a helpful partner to sign a form saying I am so dull that I am
unlikely ever to be of interest to the GMC. Then the GMC wanted my
Responsible Officer to confirm that I am a suitable person not to be a
doctor. Fortunately he thought this was the case.
