You are expected to engage fully in the annual appraisal process to revalidate successfully. However, there is no requirement to have five annual appraisals before a revalidation recommendation can be made. There are many reasons for having approved missed appraisals, such as maternity leave or sick leave. You could be given a revalidation due date that is less than five years from your first appraisal. It is important that any missed appraisals in the revalidation cycle are agreed by your responsible officer (RO) as being necessary and appropriate.
Before the RO can make a positive recommendation to revalidate, you must have collected all the GMC supporting information required to provide assurance that you are up-to-date and fit to practise and
reflected on it at your appraisal. This normally requires at least two appraisals.
If you are struggling to collect all the supporting information before your revalidation recommendation due date, your RO can recommend a deferral. This is a neutral act. The GMC will continue your existing licence to practise, and set a new revalidation recommendation date. You will be able to work while you collect the remaining supporting information that you need. Your RO can recommend a deferral period of between four months and one year depending on how long you will need to collect and reflect on the
remaining supporting information.
