Guidance for revalidation decision makers

We have guidance to help our staff make decisions about doctors’ revalidation.

It outlines how we apply our legislative powers to make decisions about doctors’ revalidation, as described in the GMC (Licence to Practise and Revalidation) Regulations 2012 (as amended).

Information about the requirements for revalidation is available in our Guidance for doctors: requirements for revalidation and maintaining your licence.
