Early evidence of impact? 94% of licensed doctor in the UK now connected to a
designated organisation/Responsible Officer
Appraisal rates for all doctors have increased significantly e.g. from 64% (2011) to 87% (2015) for NHS
consultants
Anecdotal claims of earlier identification of concerns – strong support among Responsible Officers
24,795 doctors have chosen to give up their licence to practise
Suspended approval of recommendations in three organisations
Removed 1,890 licences due to failure to engage with the process as a whole (e.g. providing no information to GMC)

What Responsible Officers say
“Revalidation for me is central to the quality agenda that I am pushing in this hospital”
“….allowed me to develop a far better understanding of what my doctors are actually doing in the hospital and elsewhere - I feel more assured”
“….there is clearly a move towards better sharing of information around doctors’ whole scope of practice …. this is a direct result of revalidation”
“In short, fewer bolt holes for doctors with unaddressed concerns to disappear into.”
