Update on Revalidation and Appraisal from the General Medical Council
The GMC is getting ready to introduce revalidation across the UK from early
December 2012. They want the majority of licensed doctors to revalidate by end
March 2016.
In Scotland, 20% of doctors will be invited to revalidate in year 1 with 40% in
years 2 and 3 respectively. Boards have started to write to those doctors in their
area who are in the first 20%.
To revalidate, doctors need to have a regular appraisal that is based on the GMC
core guidance, Good Medical Practice and covers the whole of their practice:http://www.gmc-uk.org/Good_Medical_Practice_2012___Draft_for_consultation.pdf_45081179.pdf
Doctors will also need to collect supporting information for their appraisal and
revalidation, one core element of which is CPD:http://www.gmc-uk.org/Supporting_information.pdf_42293176.pdf
The Scottish Online Appraisal Resource (SOAR) has introduced its new online
appraisal forms in line with Good Medical Practice and revalidation:http://www.scottishappraisal.scot.nhs.uk/
For regular updates on revalidation progress please see GMC website link: www.gmc-uk.org

INTER-PROFESSIONAL LEARNING
Pharmacy
The Partnership and NES Pharmacy have been piloting inter-professional
workshops in 2012. A Maintaining Mindful Prescribing Workshop in March was
attended by GPs and Pharmacists throughout the West of Scotland. Attendees
found discussing clinical topics with other health professionals a very useful
learning experience and suggested there was value in delivering more
workshops in this way.
Following this successful pilot, the Partnership has allowed a small number of
pharmacists to attend their workshops. Similarly, NES Pharmacy is now allowing
five GPs to attend a select number of their educational workshops with the aim of
encouraging GPs and Pharmacists to learn together around a number of clinical
subjects.
Five places are available to GPs on each of the following clinical workshops:
