Medical revalidation, a progress report by Sally Taber

Sir Keith Pearson, chair of the Revalidation Implementation Advisery Board, has a strong message for providers’ management boards throughout the UK – medical revalidation is your business’. He wants on every Board agenda a report from the responsible officer setting out progress towards the 100% medical revalidation target. Revalidation implementation is still in its early months and one needs to be cautious about drawing conclusions about its progress. In England 20,379 recommendations were received to the GMC by 8 September 2013 from a total for the cycle of 230,999 doctors – a rate of 8.8% of numbers of doctors to be revalidated.
