RCOG Releases New Model For Medical Revalidation

The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) has released a new model for medical revalidation this week. The Working Party Report on Recertification outlines recommendations for the recertification of obstetricians and gynaecologists working in the UK. The RCOG has also released an enhanced Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Programme. This programme has been revised to meet the new challenges of recertification in the UK, and to ensure that clinicians stay up-to-date in their areas of practice. Medical revalidation is being developed in the UK in order to ensure a nation-wide process for robust professional regulation. Revalidation will involve both a relicensure and recertification component. The recertification process will be based on annual enhanced appraisal, multi- feedback from patients and colleagues, and the CPD programme. All doctors will be required to participate in the CPD programme. Dr. Tahir Mahmood, RCOG Vice President Standards, said "The RCOG has played a full part in national discussions with the General Medical Council, Department of Health and the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges to promote a robust but simple system and to keep bureaucracy to a minimum. We believe that our voice has been heard as the RCOG Revalidation Model is being upheld as an example to follow. "The Working Party Report on Recertification demonstrates the RCOG"s commitment to ensuring quality care and the highest standards in obstetrics and gynaecology. Lifelong learning and continuous improvement remain important hallmarks of our profession. The revalidation process will promote these goals, and will help doctors to remain up-to-date and to progress in new areas." The RCOG has established a Recertification Committee to implement the recommendations of this report and to ensure that the RCOG process remains in line with new policies and developments.
