Revalidation
DOCTORS REVALIDATION
Medical revalidation is the process by which all doctors who are licensed with the General Medical Council (GMC) and wishing to renew their license will regularly demonstrate that they are up to date and fit to practice according to Good Medical Practice Guidance set by the GMC. Revalidation will provide a focus for doctors’ efforts to maintain and improve their practice and to encourage patients and the public to provide feedback about the medical care they receive from doctors.
Doctors will undergo revalidation every five years. If there are pressing concerns about a doctor’s fitness to practice, the revalidation cycle may be shortened as needed by the GMC.
Revalidation aims to:
• Assure patients and the public, employers, other healthcare providers, and other health professionals that licensed doctors are practicing to the appropriate professional standards.
• Complement other systems that exist within organizations and at other levels for monitoring standards of care and recognizing and responding to concerns.
Revalidation is based on a local evaluation of doctors’ practice through yearly appraisals, and it is therefore a requirement for doctors to have an annual appraisal to maintain their GMC license to practice.
NURSES REVALIDATION
Nurses and midwives wishing to renew and maintain their registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) will now need to participate in the Revalidation process set out by the NMC. The process encourages nurses and midwives to practice safely and effectively as well as to reflect on their practice.
Nurses and midwives will undergo Revalidation every three years and the process promotes good practice for both nurses and midwives and it encourages patients and the public to provide feedback about the care received from nurses.
REVALIDATION AIMS TO
• Raise awareness of the Code and allows nurses and midwives to reflect on this in their own practice.
• Encourage nurses and midwives to stay up to date with their continuous professional development.
• Assure patients and the public, employers, other healthcare providers, and other health professionals that registered nurses are practicing to the appropriate professional standards.
TO REVALIDATE THE BELOW SUPPORTING INFORMATION IS A REQUIREMENT
• Evidence a minimum of 450 hours in each area of practice since last renewal. 900 hours if registrant holds dual registrations as nurse and midwife.
• 35 hours of continuing professional development out of which 20 hours must include participatory training.
• 5 pieces of practice related feedback.
