In the United Kingdom, the General Medical Council aims to introduce revalidation for all medical doctors from 2012, in response to public and government pressure. Doctors will submit evidence to support their fitness to practise medicine every 5 years in relation to the four domains and 12 attributes of good medical practice.
This article reviews the argument for revalidation, the proposed process and some of the findings of a pilot carried out with general practitioners.
A revalidation process is being piloted in several parts of the United Kingdom with a view to implementation in 2012. However, there is a lack of evidence internationally that revalidation or relicensure identifies doctors who are performing poorly. The medical profession in Australia needs to reflect on whether this model is one it wishes to consider.
在英国,鉴于公众和政府的压力,英国医学总会计划从2012年起对所有医生实施重新认证。医生将每5年提交一次证据,以证明其在良好医疗实践的四个领域和12项特质方面具备行医资格。
本文回顾了重新认证的理由、提议的流程以及与全科医生进行的一项试点的一些结果。
英国几个地区正在试行重新认证流程,以期在2012年实施。然而,国际上缺乏证据表明重新认证或再次注册能识别出表现不佳的医生。澳大利亚医学界需要思考这种模式是否是其希望考虑采用的。
