About Revalidation

Medical revalidation is the process by which the General Medical Council (GMC) confirms the continuation of a doctor’s licence to practise in the UK every 5 years. All doctors who wish to retain their licence to practise need to participate in revalidation. The purpose of revalidation is to provide greater assurance to patients and the public, employers and other healthcare professionals that licensed doctors are up-to-date and fit to practise. It is a key component of a range of measures designed to improve the quality of care for patients.

The responsible officer makes a recommendation about the doctor’s fitness to practise to the GMC. The recommendation will be based on the outcome of the doctor’s annual appraisals over the course of five years, combined with information drawn from the organisational clinical governance systems.

Following the responsible officer’s recommendation, the GMC decides whether to renew the doctor’s licence.
