Revalidation
Revalidation is a formal system for ensuring that doctors remain fit for practise. It is a positive affirmation that doctors are safe and keeping up to date, rather than just an absence of concerns. This will take the form of a recommendation to the General Medical Council (GMC) every 5 years through a satisfactory sign-off of 5 annual appraisals. All licensed doctors in the UK, in all sectors (NHS and private) and all branches of practice will need to be revalidated.

Continuing Professional Development
Participation in Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is core to the practice of all disciplines of medicine. The Faculty, along with each other Medical College and Faculty, has developed guidance on appropriate CPD for doctors working within the disciplines it represents and hopes, in due course to develop further resources for planning and recording CPD activities.
