Most licensed doctors have a connection with one organisation that will support them with their appraisal and revalidation. This organisation is called your ‘designated body’.
It will be the responsible officer of this designated body that will make a recommendation to us about you, usually every five years, that you are up to date, fit to practise and should be revalidated.
You need to confirm which organisation is your designated body.
There is a clear set of rules that determines which designated body you are connected to. For most doctors, this is quite straightforward because their organisation will be the one in which they spend most or all of their practice.
We have more information on our website, including case studies and an online tool, to help you find your designated body.
If you’ve used the tool and:
• you’re still unsure about which organisation is your designated body, or
• your designated body does not appear on our list
please contact us.
If you don’t have a designated body please choose ‘I don’t have a designated body’ in the ‘My Revalidation’ section.
