The [https://www.gmc-uk.org/ General Medical Council] (GMC) regulates medical practitioners in the United Kingdom. The GMC issued an "interim guidance" on the [non-therapeutic] circumcision of male children in 1997.<ref>{{REFweb |url=http://www.cirp.org/library/statements/gmc/ |archived= |title=Guidance for Doctors Who Are Asked to Circumcise Male Children |trans-title= |language= |last=Anonymous |first= |author-link= |publisher=General Medical Council |website=Circumcision Reference Library |date=1997 |accessdate=2021-09-12 |format= |quote=Listen to those with parental responsibility and give careful consideration to their views. You are not obliged to act on a request to circumcise a child, but you should explain if you are opposed to circumcision other than for therapeutic reasons. You should also tell those with parental responsibility that they have a right to see another doctor.}}</ref>
