Abstract

The aim of revalidation is to reassure the public that doctors are up to date and fit to practise. The Royal College of Physicians has developed various programmes of work, both ongoing and under development, in support of revalidation. The purpose of this work is to provide guidance for doctors about the standards of practice expected and the types of evidence required for revalidation. A range of methods and tools are outlined that could be used by doctors to demonstrate their commitment to evaluating and reflecting on the way they practise medicine. These methods include ways of assessing both professional standards and clinical competence. Although the conclusions of the Chief Medical Officer in terms of the absolute requirements for revalidation are still unknown, the College is committed to supporting its Members and Fellows to prepare for revalidation through setting educational, professional and clinical standards in medicine.
