  1. Revalidation: Towards implementation CPE-IPAC meeting, October 2012

  2. Revalidation is… 1 • Part of a wider system of measures to promote improvements in safety and quality • Intended to ensure that all medical practice is conducted within a governed system • Positive affirmation of a doctor’s fitness to practise based on GMC core guidance Good Medical Practice • Positive recommendation from a responsible officer

  3. Revalidation isn’t… • A test or exam with a pass or fail outcome • A new way to raise concerns about a doctor • The only purpose or output of appraisal or training assessment

  4. All doctor’s who hold full registration with a Licence to Practise are required to revalidate. Holding a Licence to Practise • applies only to UK medical practice • has no legal standing outside of the UK - it’s the registration that provides the evidence of good standing with the GMC. 3 The Licence to Practise allows doctors to exercise certain privileges in the UK, for example to work as a doctor in the NHS, sign death certificates and write prescriptions. It’s important to note that doctor’s are able to hold full registration with the GMC without a Licence to Practise.

  5. Requirements for doctors…

The doctor must be participating in an annual appraisal process which has Good Medical Practiceas its focus and which covers all of their medical practice The doctor must have completed at least one of these appraisals, which has been signed off by the doctor and their appraiser The doctor must have demonstrated, through appraisal, that they have collected and reflected on the information as outlined in the GMC’s guidance Supporting information for appraisal and revalidation

  8. Recommendation options… Concerns about Fitness to Practise must be raised when they arise

  9. Deferral requests…

  10. Notification of non-engagement… • Confirms RO cannot make an informed recommendation as the doctor has not engaged in revalidation • Not a mechanism for addressing concerns about a doctor’s fitness to practise Like deferrals • Relates to insufficient information in support of a doctor’s revalidation Unlike deferrals • Concerns doctors who have had sufficient opportunity and support to engage in revalidation, but failed to do so • No reasonable grounds for failure to engage
