Working as a health care professional in the twenty‐first century is both rewarding and challenging. Being a doctor is a complex role typically with a broad scope of practice, which includes not just one ' s clinical role but other responsibilities such as teaching, research and management. Whatever clinical area or specialty you are working in, there are increasing public expectations. Medical revalidation, introduced by the General Medical Council (GMC) in 2012, is an evaluation of a doctor's fitness to practice (GMC 2020).

What is this book about? This book reviews the background that led to the implementation of medical revalidation in the United Kingdom (UK). It also provides a comprehensive description of the current revalidation process for all doctors in the UK.

Who is this book for? This book is aimed at:

All doctors in the UK who are subject to revalidation, including General Practitioners (GPs), Consultants, Staff and Associate Specialists (SASs), Locally Employed Doctors and Doctors in Training

All doctors who are appraisers and or Responsible Officers

All who are involved in postgraduate medical education and training

All medical students and their tutors and lecturers.

This book explores the evolution of the regulatory processes in medicine and other health professionals from a UK and international perspective. The current UK regulatory framework is described, as well as the recent drivers for change. The book provides a step‐by‐step guide to the process of revalidation from the perspective of the appraisee, the appraiser, the Responsible Officer and the employer. Examples of reflective writing are explored mapped to Good Medical Practice (GMP) and the Generic Professional Capabilities (GPCs). We then go on to explore the possible future for medical revalidation in the UK.
