Revalidation
It is currently expected that, subject to an assessment in the Summer, the revalidation legislation will be enabled in December and doctors will start to undergo the revalidation process from early 2013. PCTs should, therefore, not be implementing new appraisal frameworks on this basis.  We will notify you once we are aware when new appraisal processes may commence but, until this time, please notify the LMC if you experience any changes to your appraisal under the guise of the planned introduction of revalidation.
