De impact van een tuchtprocedure

Rarely does a physician experience disciplinary proceedings as beneficial. In most cases, the impact of a disciplinary procedure is big, even if the disciplinary complaint is declared unfounded.

Based on the experiences of these physicians, the authors examine whether the purpose of disciplinary law is achieved and whether that procedure contributes to the quality of professional practice.
