Collaboration with other key stakeholders

GMC

We work closely with the GMC to support and assist each other in the work and introduction of revalidation. We have regular meetings with the GMC and representatives also attend the Academy Revalidation Development Group.

Departments of Health

We feel that is it very important to open a collaborative dialogue on revalidation with all of the Departments of Health in the four countries of the United Kingdom. We communicate with the four Chief Medical Officers and send the four UK Health Departments regular progress updates on our work.

Department of Health, England
Welsh Assembly, Health and Social Care
Scottish Government, Health and Community Care
Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety, Northern Ireland

Patients are represented through the Academy Patient/Lay Group on the Academy Revalidation Development Group and Working Groups. Most of the individual Medical Royal Colleges also have patient/lay representation on those committees and project groups formed to support the development of revalidation.

Communication with Doctors

Doctors will have representation through their membership bodies, Colleges and Faculties, on the Academy Revalidation Development Group and associated working groups. This website will be used to communicate general information about revalidation and the Academy's specific work in support of specialist revalidation.
