Our Guidance on supporting information for appraisal and revalidation outlines the supporting information you need to reflect on at your appraisals for revalidation.
You must reflect on feedback from colleagues and patients (or if you don’t have patients, those you provide medical services to) at least once each revalidation cycle. It should help you identify what you’re doing well and ways to improve your practice. Both positive and critical feedback is valuable if it helps you to reflect on your practice. Your appraisals should take into account all information you gather about your practice. Feedback shouldn’t be used on its own to make judgements.
We help to protect patients and improve medical education and practice in the UK by setting standards for students and doctors. We support them in achieving and exceeding those standards, and take action when they are not met.
