Framework for PhysiciansThe Federation of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the UK developed a first version of a framework of core and optional supporting information to be required of physicians seeking to revalidate with the GMC. Following the consultation in 2010 the Colleges and the GMC accept that this framework required review to reassure physicians that the required information will be proportionate and relevant. The GMC have now published 2 key documents on which the new framework for supporting information for physicians will be based. Much of this is generic and will be required of all doctors, e.g. personal information, scope of work and health.
The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges and Faculties has now agreed a second framework of supporting information for appraisal and revalidation and which has been customised by Colleges for their own Fellows and Members. The version for physicians is now available in final draft form and a short survey has been emailed to Fellows and Members seeking their views on the applicability of this framework to their practice and the ease with which they expect to gather the required supporting information. If you have comments on this draft, complete the survey on draft framework. Any queries or for futher information, please contact the CEO, Elaine Tait (e.tait@rcpe.ac.uk) |
