Revalidation allows licensed doctors to show that they are fit to practise and up-to-date. One of the key elements of revalidation is the annual appraisal process.
The information required for appraisal includes:
- Keeping up-to-date (CPD) – information demonstrating how a doctor maintains and enhances the quality of his/her work
- Audit of Personal Practice – information demonstrating that a doctor participates in activities that review and evaluate the quality of his/her work
The courses we offer at the SCSCHF can form a part of the evidence required for appraisal.
