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’

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: 3 rd 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 –Enhanced Form R –Educational Supervisors Report
