Abstract:
The Royal College of Physicians has completed a survey of Members and Fellows to ascertain opinions about the development of specialist standards and the applicability of potential methods/evidence for specialist recertification. Of 985 respondents, 68.6% felt that 11 of the suggested methods would be appropriate for specialist practice and most of these would also be applicable to sub-specialist practice.

Respondents expressed concern about the current appraisal process but many felt that it could be effective if it was strengthened and consistently applied.
