November News
Appraisal and revalidation featured highly at the RCGP Conference in October. Links to the pertinent presentations are included. It would be well worth all GPs taking a few minutes to review where we are going and when we may get there.

October News
GP Update magazine has an excellent article on the next steps
BMA Policy on the CMO report – Medical Revalidation – Principles and Next Steps
This is the 2nd update from the BMA on the introduction of medical revalidation. Medical revalidation –
principles and next steps was published in July 2008 and sets out how revalidation will be implemented
across the UK. It is based on proposals in the Government White Paper, Trust, assurance and safety - the
regulation of health professionals in the 21st century (February 2007).
