This story on Yahoo! suggests that regular tests for British GPs are being introduced in response to the Harold Shipman case. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/21022007/325/gps-face-regular-tests-shipman-case.html While the notorious doctor of death is no doubt a handy hook for journalists, the article does rather imply that his killing spree was the result of being a bit rusty. If only he'd kept up to date with best practice in the medical profession, he wouldn't have killed 250 people.
