Doctors revalidating before September 2020

23 March 2020

The General Medical Council has announced that from 17 March 2020, doctors who are due to revalidate before the end of September will have their revalidation date deferred for one year. This will be kept under review and further deferrals will be made as necessary.

The GMC has made this decision to give responsible officers (ROs) and doctors more time to reschedule and complete appraisals, and to avoid the need for ROs to make revalidation recommendations during this time.

Further information is available on the GMC website.
