Evidence for Extended Practice

Many GPs perform other roles in addition to core general practice. This might include:

Teaching students
Training GP Registrars
Working as an Appraiser
Research
Out of Hours work
GPs with a special interest (GPwSI)

You need to provide evidence as to how you are qualified to carry out these roles, how you keep up to date, and how you remain fit to practice.

As of the 1st April 2009, GPwSIs are required to be accredited and on a PCT register and for revalidation you will need to provide a certificate of accreditation.

Practical Advice

To show you qualify for the role, detail your qualifications, training and experience.

Keeping up to date - you need to show you undergo regular training and that you update your skills where appropriate.

Evidence of fitness to practice could be provided by a colleague or a consultant you work for.
