does the UK have the equivalent of an FDA, AMA, state medical board..?

by SS&SS

and a thriving malpractice industry?

Billy Blaze
There are no "states" in the UK.

Yes, the UK has a licensing body for physicians.

Yes, the UK has the MHRA – Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency.

And while it is possible to sue for malpractice, it's much less common than in the USA.

To: Billy Blaze - is the sue factor less in the UK because you are technically suing the government over individuals?

To answer the original question - I would say yes, the UK is more regulated than the US - so they have what the US has plus some.

Give your answer to this question below!
