Minor convictions for Professional people
4 Answers
How do the regulatory body, say the Law Society, or BMA know if one of their members has been convicted of a minor offence which didn't involve jail time. They are hardly going to tell their potential punishers that they've committed an offence?

BMA isnt the medical regulator, it is the GMC
and the Police tell them.
and yes they are required to
and no, case law shows that this is not self-incrimination as medical regulation is not punishing, it is all about pt safety
and yes the GMC and the NMC (nurses) have held cases where the 'convict' has forgotten to tell.

Peter,
Yes of course I meant the GMC as the BMA are their 'union'
By 'punishers 'I meant they have powers to enforce restrictions or limitations on their members activities for a while. I just wondered if the police had discretionary powers to report minor non-custodial sententences or not.
Don't get your last paragraph though since if the police are required to tell how can 'the convict forget to tell?
What I'm really asking is there a small chance these regulatory bodies won't ever find out of minor convictions?
