Revalidation
As relevant to O & G KSS
Deanery Trainees
What is Revalidation?
The GMC states:
‘Revalidation will be our new way of regulating
licensed doctors that will give extra confidence
to patients that their doctors are up to date and
fit to practise’
http://www.gmc-uk.org/doctors/revalidation.asp
Who needs to be revalidated?
• All doctors fully GMC registered with a
licence to practise
– Including Foundation year two and specialty
training trainees
When is Revalidation being launched?
• Launch date: 3rd December 2012
– GMC aim to have revalidated the majority of
licensed doctors by end of March 2016 (for
the first time)
When do I need to revalidate
• O & G trainees have more than five years
to CCT
• Revalidate five years from the date you
gained full GMC registration with licence to
practise, and again at the point of eligibility
for CCT
• The process will then run in a five year
cycle as long as you remain fully GMC
registered with licence to practise
How will you revalidate?
• Each doctor will be assigned to a designated body
(O & G, KSS Deanery)
• The designated body has a Responsible Officer
(RO)(Prof Abdol Tavabie, KSS Post Graduate
Dean)
• Responsible Officer will make an annual
recommendation to the GMC based on your
participation in the ARCP process as to whether
you:
– Are up to date,
– Fit to practise
– Should be revalidated
How will you Revalidate cont….
• It is your responsibility to ensure that your
RO is correctly allocated
– If you transfer to a new Deanery your RO will
become your new Post Graduate Dean
– If you leave training/complete training you
must nominate a new RO as appropriate for
your new designated body
How will you Revalidate cont….
• Use evidence from your ePortfolio as
supporting information to show that you
are meeting GMC professional standards
in daily practice:
– Meeting Curriculum requirements
– Meeting Training Programme requirements
– ARCP Outcome form
