Supporting information for appraisal and revalidation for PhysiciansThe first versions of this document required significant amendment following consultation in 2010-11 to ensure physicians that the required information is proportionate and relevant. The GMC have published 2 key documents on which the new guidance for supporting information for physicians is based. Much of this is generic and will be required of all doctors, e.g. personal information, scope of work and health.
The Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow and the Royal College of Physicians of London have now published 'Supporting information for appraisal and revalidation: guidance for physicians'. This is based on the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges and Faculties’ core guidance for all doctors. The GMC recommends that doctors in specialist practice should consult the supporting information guidance provided by their college or faculty. This guidance amplifies the headings provided by the GMC, by providing additional detail about the GMC requirements and what each college or faculty expects relating to this, based on their specialty expertise. These expectations are laid out under ‘Requirements’. Further descriptive information is given under the heading “Guidance.” For Fellows and members whose job plan includes a significant contribution to medical management there is additional guidance from the newly established Faculty of Medical Leadership and Management.
