Summary:This paper, together with statistical data on disciplinary breaches and punishments, analyses the disciplinary liability of physicians and the influence of this liability on the work and behaviour of physicians. The author here provides an overview of the bodies responsible for initiating and implementing disciplinary procedure, the rules for disciplinary procedure, a description of disciplinary breaches and punishments, and the way the court protects physicians against disciplinary procedure decisions. The conclusion contains the system of disciplinary procedure for physicians which is regulated in a clear and holistic way, together with the observation that it is necessary to regulate in the Code the deadline by which the Committee must reach its decision regarding the validity of the demands for initiating disciplinary proceedings.
