Revalidation
What is revalidation?
Revalidation is a new process of regulation for all doctors that practice medicine in the UK. Every five years doctors will need to show that they are still fit to practise. The Government outlined plans for the revalidation process in the February 2007 White Paper: Trust, Assurance and Safety – The Regulation of Health Professionals in the 21st Century. It is intended that revalidation will begin no earlier then December 2012.
What if I have additional questions?
The General Medical Council has published a frequently asked questions document on their website which should answer many of your questions about revalidation. The revalidation process is still being developed and the document will be updated as new details emerge. If you have any questions, or would like further information, please contact the College on revalidation@rcseng.ac.uk.
