Revalidation

Making revalidation connections conference - Friday 24 May 2013

NHS England (London Region) is hosting a conference with the British Medical Association on Friday 24 May 2013 at BMA House for doctors who have been unable to find a prescribed connection for their revalidation.

Speakers will include experts from the GMC and the Revalidation Support Team, as well as those with practical experience of developing connections for doctors. Responsible Officers, doctors from the independent sector and from Local Education Training Boards (LETBs) are also likely to speak, along with one of the first doctors to become a GMC 'suitable person'. Workshops to help doctors secure a prescribed connection will be held in the afternoon.

The contact for registration at this conference is tori.awani@nhs.net, telephone 020 7932 3119.

The College, together with a cohort of seven of medical royal colleges, is developing an e-portfolio to support UK doctors through their appraisal and revalidation. We envisage that the e-portfolio will be available later in 2013, but you can register your interest now.
