Every doctor with a licence to practise medicine must revalidate. Revalidation demonstrates doctors are fit to practise and are complying with professional standards. It's designed to give patients greater confidence in their doctors and support clinicians to maintain and improve.

The GMC has confirmed the earliest date doctors will need to revalidate is August 2021. It states it is committed to providing doctors and responsible officers with maximum flexibility to meet local needs as we move towards recovery out of the COVID-19 pandemic.
