Revalidation

 

Remediation

The DH steering group on remediation has published its report and it is available on the DH website. The report sets out the following recommendations:

Although the issue of funding fell outwith the remit of the group, a range of options were developed on the assumption that there was unlikely to be any additional money in the system:

 

The BMA’s view is that remediation must be fully funded to ensure equality across the different branches of practice, and we will continue to lobby the Department of Health for this to occur.

Appraisal

As stated in November GPC News, we have heard reports of some PCTs using the planned introduction of revalidation to justify implementing more stringent appraisal frameworks. Revalidation is currently due to be introduced from late 2012 and the evidence requirements have not yet been confirmed or agreed. PCTs therefore should not be implementing new appraisal frameworks on this basis.

 

Our practical guide to revalidation remains on our website but many bits are out dated now. We are planning to put an updated version of this once the situation is more clear. Meanwhile both the RCGP and the GMC revalidation websites are quite useful.
