Revalidation for trainees and the annual review of competency progression (ARCP)
1Kent, Surrey and Sussex Deanery, UK.
Abstract:
Revalidation for doctors in the UK began in December 2012. Doctors in training need to revalidate every 5 years after obtaining their licence to practice and also at the point of achieving their certificate of completion of training. The annual review of competency progression (ARCP) is the vehicle for revalidation discussions. Postgraduate deans are the responsible officers for trainees and there are new processes in place, including responsibilities for educational supervisors and ARCP panels to ensure that postgraduate deans can fulfil their General Medical Council obligations. In this article, I give examples of how this might work in practice.
