  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…
