What is revalidation?
The introduction of medical revalidation throughout the UK means doctors who wish to retain their licence to practise in the UK will need to demonstrate they are up-to-date and fit to practise.
The General Medical Council (GMC) published two documents, Good Medical Practice Framework for Appraisal and Revalidation and Supporting Information for Appraisal and Revalidation, which underpin the revalidation process.
For more information, please visit the GMC website.
What is the purpose of revalidation?
The purpose of revalidation is to provide greater assurance to patients and the public, employers and other healthcare professionals that licensed doctors are up-to-date and fit to practise.
