  11. Revalidation Portfolio of Supporting Information Five x annual appraisals Responsible Officer Query Cannot recommend revalidation Recommend revalidation RCoA advisor and/or GMC affiliate review and support General Medical Council

  12. Recommendations RO can make one of 3 recommendations: • Recommendation to revalidate • Deferral • Notification of failure to engage

  13. Recommendations Deferral • Insufficient supporting information • Information gaps • Participation in a local or national process • HR investigation • Performance or remediation • New date must be within 12 months *this does not affect the license to practice (Responsible Officer Protocol GMC)

  14. Recommendations Notification of failure to engage • Confirms responsible officer cannot make informed recommendation as the doctor hasn’t engaged • Related to insufficient information in support of revalidation But notification of failure to engage: • Is not a mechanism for addressing concerns about fitness to practice • It concerns doctors who have had sufficient opportunity and support to engage in revalidation but have failed to do so • Is where there are no reasonable grounds for failure to engage.

  15. GMP • Updated March 2013 • Effective 22nd April 2013 • 4 Domains • Matches the framework for appraisal and revalidation

  16. GMP – what’s new? • Mentoring: Structured support activities (10) Mentoring role for more junior colleagues (42) • Clinical Records (19-21) • Respond to risks to safety (24-27) • Continuity and coordination of care (44-45) • Communicating information (68-71)

  19. What’s new about appraisal • Doctors are appraised on the whole of their scope of work • Clinical governance information and information arising from appraisal will be combined to enable the responsible officer to make a recommendation about revalidation to the GMC • The doctor will have to sign off statements about significant events, complaints, probity, health, the appraisal portfolio, and GMC requirements • The appraiser will have to sign off statements about engagement with appraisal, progress with the previous PDP and the appropriateness of the new PDP and GMC requirements

  20. Appraisal statements • An appraisal has taken place that reflects the whole of the doctor’s scope of work and addresses the principles and values set out in Good Medical Practice • Appropriate supporting information has been presented in accordance with the Good Medical Practice Framework for appraisal and revalidation and this reflects the nature and scope of the doctor’s work • A review that demonstrates progress against last year’s personal development plan has taken place • An agreement has been reached with the doctor about a new personal development plan and any associated actions for the coming year. • no information has been presented or discussed in the appraisal that raises a concern about the doctor’s fitness to practise.

  30. 30. It is your responsibility to do enough appropriate CPD to remain up to date and fit to practice in your work. This applies whether you are full time or part time Most medical royal colleges and faculties have developed CPD systems or guidance to support doctors ....... participating in these schemes to obtain a specific number of CPD credits over 5 years. We don’t require you to be a member of a college or faculty CPD scheme to undertake a specific number of hours of CPD each year or acquire a particular number of CPD credits. However you may find that participating in such a scheme is helpful........

  31. GMC - Reflection 16 Reflection drives change in performance and is key to effective CPD. GMP requires you to reflect regularly on your standards of medical practice 18 You must also reflect on what you have learnt from your CPD activity......record whether your CPD has had any impact....on your performance and practice
