Editor - I was interested to read the latest Conversations with Charles (Clin Med 2009 pp 199-200). Three years ago I applied for a locum paediatric post in Edinburgh and was turned down because of my age of 71. As a member of the General Medical Council (GMC), I complained of age discrimination to them to be told they 'had no remit over the policy of the NHS including how it meets its obligations under equality legislation'. This occurred despite the fact that the GMC had twice trumpeted its opposition to discrimination on grounds of age and other criteria in its GMC Today (June 2006) and again with the announcement of its GMC Equality Scheme (GMC Today March 2007).
