Doctors given update on Licensing and Revalidation by GMC

Mar 11, 2005 - 4:45:00 PM
“Our revalidation proposals envisage that doctors will be required to present some or all of the evidence from their folders to the GMC. While Dame Janet has made suggestions for enhancing the folder, she has not suggested that the principle of the folder or indeed revalidation is unsound.”

 
[RxPG] General Medical Council President, Sir Graeme Catto, has recently written to all doctors to update them on licensing and revalidation.

In December 2004 the Government announced a review in the light of issues raised by Dame Janet Smith in the fifth report of the Shipman Inquiry. The Government also said that, with the GMC’s agreement, it had decided to postpone the introduction of licensing and revalidation until the review was completed.

In his letter Sir Graeme reaffirms the GMC’s commitment to introducing a system of revalidation to help raise standards by encouraging doctors to reflect on their work, using evidence gathered through audit and in other ways, and by providing confirmation that doctors are up to date and fit to practise.

Sir Graeme urges all doctors to continue collecting their folders of information “Our revalidation proposals envisage that doctors will be required to present some or all of the evidence from their folders to the GMC. While Dame Janet has made suggestions for enhancing the folder, she has not suggested that the principle of the folder or indeed revalidation is unsound.”
