This won’t hurt a bit…How do you show that you consistently provide high quality clinical care both as an individual doctor and member of a team?

Revalidation will now be more stringent that ever. You might need help gathering information so that your evidence is sufficiently robust and objective, presenting it so that addresses the fields in the General Medical Council’s document. You’ll need to make sure you match your portfolio with what is expected in your specialty area. This book helps you to sustain your energy in gathering and reviewing evidence of your day-to-day performance at work so that you are recertified and relicensed with ease, whatever future revisions are made to the revalidation process. By suggesting proactive and structured methods, this book offers easy to comprehend ways to guide you through the evidence cycle, with many examples in both clinical and non-clinical fields. It is ideal for primary care and hospital doctors preparing for revalidation, including trainee doctors. Appraisers, and trainee appraisers in trusts, deaneries or general practice will find the guidance invaluable, as will appraisal leads in healthcare organisations and those with responsibility for quality assurance of appraisal as part of clinical governance or regulation.

Medical sociology has traditionally focused on the governance of ‘troublesome’ social groups, including the unwell, the ‘deviant’, and the criminally insane. But recently, it has explored how the state ensures the public is protected from medical malpractice, negligence, and criminality. Against the background of some high-profile scandals, this authoritative book examines the modernisation of the regulation of doctors by the introduction of a quality assurance process. Highlighting areas of good practice, this book will be required reading for scholars of medical sociology, medical education and health policy.
