REVALIDATION AT A GLANCE
Revalidation is a new system that builds on the regulation and performance of doctors - not about making complaints.
Annual Appraisals are a collaborative means for a doctor to work with patients and other doctors, to continuously improve their practice.
Doctors must produce a 'folder of evidence' each year, to demonstrate that they are working to the highest medical standards.
As part of this 'folder of evidence', doctors must ask patients about their experiences of how well the doctor has practised.
Patients should now be more able to feed back about their doctor, both positively and negatively.
A 'revalidated' doctor is one who has been monitored by a senior doctor in a healthcare organisation and who has proven good medical practice.
