  1. GMC Revalidation Consultation1 March – 4 June 2010

  2. What is revalidation? • Revalidation is about providing further assurance that all doctors with a licence are up to date and fit to practise • Revalidation will not involve a point-in-time assessment of a doctor’s knowledge and skills but will be based on a continuing evaluation of their practice in the context of their everyday working environment • Revalidation will be based on local systems of annual appraisal over a five year period and will simply affirm periodically what has already been demonstrated through the appraisal process

  3. Why we are consulting • We are consulting on how revalidation should be introduced and not whether it should be introduced • We want frontline doctors, patients and all those involved or affected to help shape the proposals

  4. How revalidation will work • Section 1 of the consultation considers: • Single revalidation process – rather than the twin processes of relicensing/recertification • Collection and evaluation of information in the workplace through appraisal • Situations when the Responsible Officer cannot make a positive recommendation • How revalidation will work for doctors in non- standard roles, e.g. trainees.

  5. What doctors, employers and contractors of doctors’ services will need to do • Section 2 of the consultation considers: • Ensuring consistency in appraisal through the Good Medical Practice Framework • Specialty and general practice standards developed for appraisal • How Continuing Professional Development will contribute to revalidation • The responsibilities of employers and organisations that contract doctors’ services

  6. Patient and public involvement in revalidation • Section 3 of the consultation considers: • The use of colleague and patient questionnaires in revalidation • How the GMC can ensure they are used effectively and fairly • Broader involvement of patients and the public in the revalidation process

  7. How and when revalidation will be introduced • Section 4 of the consultation considers: • A managed and targeted approach to introducing revalidation across the UK • Working in partnership with others – including UK Revalidation Programme Board & Delivery Boards • How revalidation might be rolled out • The need for organisational readiness

  8. Revalidation – How to have your say • GMC website: www.gmc-uk.org/thewayahead • Email: thewayahead@gmc-uk.org • Post: Revalidation Team, 2nd Floor, Regent’s Place, 350 Euston Road, London NW1 3JN • Telephone: 020 7189 5280 • Consultation runs to 4 June 2010
