GMC statutory guidance states that, to maintain your licence to practise, you must ensure that you have an annual medical appraisal and demonstrate your continued competence across your whole scope
of practice. Your responsible officer (RO) has a duty to ensure that there is a suitable, quality assured, appraisal process for you to participate in. The GMC requires you to engage with your annual appraisal process on an ongoing basis. Some doctors do not have an RO, or a Suitable Person, and still organise their own annual appraisal that meets the GMC criteria for a medical appraisal for revalidation.
If you work in a designated body with an organisational appraisal policy, it is your responsibility to understand what that means for you and how you should be accessing your annual appraisal. Your RO has a statutory responsibility for ensuring that the appraisal process is fit for purpose but you must play your part in engaging fully with the process.
We recommend that you are proactive in ensuring that you have an annual appraisal that is meaningful and meets your personal and professional development needs in the context in which you work. If your appraisal becomes disproportionately burdensome, we recommend that you speak to your appraiser and RO. They can support you and make recommendations.
If you think that you should be offered an appraisal and you are not, we recommend that you are proactive about seeking advice from your designated body and ensuring that you are included in the appraisal
process. Administrative errors do happen and you are best placed to highlight such omissions.
This channel is a great place for content on GMC appraisal and revalidation for doctors and designated bodies. If you are a doctor or a designated body and looking for a doctor appraisal or a medical appraiser as part of the GMC requirements, feel free to get in touch. We also offer guidance on a Suitable person or Responsible officer requirements.
