Council to review revalidation systems and incorporate managers into professional development
Recommendation
The new Council for the Regulation of Healthcare Professionals should take as a further priority an early review of the various systems of revalidation and re-registration to ensure that they are sufficiently rigorous, and in alignment both with each other and with other initiatives to protect the public. The Council should also seek ways to incorporate managers (as healthcare professionals) into the systems of CPD, appraisal and revalidation.
Published Evidence Summary
The following publicly available evidence relates to this recommendation:
Publicly available evidence indicates the government published a response to the Bristol Heart Inquiry and has documents related to its recommendation implementation (gov.uk search results). The recommendation refers to the 'new Council for the Regulation of Healthcare Professionals,' which was subsequently established (now known as the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care). While the available evidence does not provide specific details on the Council's review of revalidation and re-registration systems, its existence suggests a framework for addressing such issues is in place. No specific legislation or policy directly detailing this review has been identified in the provided sources, and the most recent specific evidence is not available.
