Revalidation - GMP framework for appraisal and assessment

The GMC has reviewed Good Medical Practice, and derived from it attributes that cover the core requirements of good practice. Those attributes are elaborated in a framework, which shows suggested generic standards, again taken from Good Medical Practice, and possible sources of evidence.

The framework provides a foundation for the development of the appraisal and assessment systems that will form a key part of revalidation. We, therefore, regard it as important that this framework has the confidence and support of all our key interest groups.

The framework is being tested in a number of different environments through a series of projects and pilots.

If you would like further information about the background to the framework, or have any comments or suggestions about this work, please e-mail standards@gmc-uk.org.
