Appraisal and revalidation
Eric Bater
9th July 2014
Revalidation:‘The means by which all doctors must
demonstrate on a 5-yearly basis that they
remain up to date and fit to practise’
The purpose of revalidation
• To assure patients and public,
employers and other health care
professionals that licensed
doctors are up to date and fit to
practise
The 2 elements
GMC Revalidation:
“Single-process”
• Relicensure: license to practise on medical register (i.e. NHS doctor, prescribe & death
certification) in accordance with the GMC’s generic standards [GMC driven]
• Recertification (re-accreditation): certificate confirms doctors meet standards appropriate to be
on GMC’s GP Register [RCGP driven]
• Support: As a backstop, to identify for further investigation/remediation, doctors whose practice
is/may be impaired
One-Process Revalidation
License
to Practise
5-Yearly Relicence
Certificate
to be on the GP register
5-Yearly Recertification
Why revalidation?
• James Wisheart
• Senior paediatric cardiac
surgeon, Bristol
• Struck off by GMC 1998 after
failing to note excess mortality
(29 deaths between 1988
&1995)
Why revalidation?
• Harold Shipman
• GP in Hyde,Manchester
• Convicted in 2001 of 15 murders
of patients
• Suspicion of involvement in 250+
deaths
How would you prove a doctor
was ‘up to date’ and ‘fit to
practice’?

Templates for reflection on Patient and Colleague
feedback
Name of doctor:
Date of patient survey:
Which survey tool did you use –CFEP/Edgecumbe/Clarity/RCGP
What issues did you identify from the exercise?
Hints: Look at your positive findings just as carefully as the most negative.
Compare your self assessment with that of your patients is it similar or quite different –why might that be?
What actions might you undertake as a result of the survey results?
Hints: These might include: improving communication techniques, restructuring, negotiating changes to the
consulting environment, developing skills with respect to specific cohorts of patients, learning more about
how to learn from patient surveys
Name of doctor:
Date of colleague survey:
Which survey tool did you use –CFEP/Edgecumbe/Clarity/RCGP
What issues did you identify from the exercise?
Hints: Look at your positive findings just as carefully as the most negative.
Compare your self assessment with that of your colleagues is it similar or quite different –why might that
be?
Discuss and seek advice from colleagues both peer and senior, if possible. If you have difficulty identifying
learning needs from the survey, be frank about this. Skills in interpreting such information can then be
considered as your first learning need in this regard.
What actions might you undertake as a result of the survey results?
Hints: These might include: improving communication techniques, restructuring, improving
teamwork/leadership skills, learning more about how to learn from colleague surveys (as above).
