Coronavirus (COVID-19) - update on revalidation for doctors
In April 2021 we began routinely contacting doctors to give them four months’ notice of their revalidation submission dates. The earliest date these doctors will need to revalidate is August 2021.
As our health services move towards recovery, we understand the challenges the profession is still under. Our approach to revalidation continues to provide doctors and responsible officers with maximum flexibility to meet local needs.
Revalidation
Every licensed doctor who practises medicine must revalidate. Revalidation supports you to develop your practice, drives improvements in clinical governance and gives your patients confidence that you're up to date. This page provides step by step guidance and resources to support doctors in revalidation.
