In early 2015, the Medical Board of Australia commissioned research into international revalidation models and what might be applicable for Australia. This review examines the implications for Australian anaesthetists. What problem is revalidation seeking to address? What is happening in similar countries? Is there an issue with Australian anaesthetists' performance? Isn't continuing professional development enough? Could the Medical Board target known high-risk doctors? What is the evidence for the benefit of revalidation? How is and how should the profession be involved? Revalidation has been introduced in other developed countries. It commonly involves continuing professional development, feedback from colleagues, co-workers and patients, clinical audit and peer review. Although its evidence base is limited, the General Medical Council in the United Kingdom is evaluating its revalidation system, which should provide useful guidance for other countries. Australian anaesthetists and their professional organisations must remain informed about, and engaged in, the national debate about revalidation, to ensure that any new process is workable for Australian anaesthesia practice.
2015年初，澳大利亚医学委员会委托开展了一项关于国际再认证模式以及哪些模式可能适用于澳大利亚的研究。本综述探讨了其对澳大利亚麻醉医生的影响。再认证旨在解决什么问题？类似国家正在发生什么情况？澳大利亚麻醉医生的表现存在问题吗？持续专业发展还不够吗？医学委员会能否针对已知的高风险医生？再认证有何益处的证据是什么？该行业目前如何参与以及应该如何参与？其他发达国家已经引入了再认证。它通常包括持续专业发展、同事、同事和患者的反馈、临床审计和同行评审。尽管其证据基础有限，但英国医学总会正在评估其再认证系统，这应该会为其他国家提供有用的指导。澳大利亚麻醉医生及其专业组织必须随时了解并参与关于再认证的全国性辩论，以确保任何新流程对澳大利亚麻醉实践都是可行的。
