What Is a Medical Appraisal and Revalidation?
A medical appraisal is a planned annual meeting during which a licensed doctor reflects on their clinical practice and professional development. It is a mandatory part of the GMC revalidation process, as required by the General Medical Council (GMC).
Revalidation, which is typically required every five years, is the process by which doctors demonstrate that they remain up to date and fit to practice. It is based on a series of annual appraisals, along with other supporting information such as complaints, governance data, and feedback from patients and colleagues.

FAQs
The GMC annual appraisal is a structured, reflective meeting that helps GMC-registered doctors maintain and demonstrate their fitness to practice. It is a core requirement for GMC revalidation, which happens every five years. Without regular appraisals, your license to practice may be at risk.
Key points:
- It is held once every 12 months as part of the GMC revalidation and appraisal process.
- Encourages reflection on clinical practice, CPD (Continuing Professional Development), and patient feedback.
- Ensures you meet the General Medical Council’s standards for safe and effective practice.
- Provides documented evidence required for the annual return process GMC expects from licensed doctors.
The medical appraisal and revalidation process is designed to confirm that you remain up to date and capable of practising safely. It combines annual appraisals with a 5-yearly revalidation assessment.
Here’s how it works:
- Annual appraisal – Review of your clinical work, achievements, learning needs, and patient feedback.
- Supporting evidence – Submission of CPD records, governance data, complaint records, and colleague feedback.
- Five-year revalidation – The GMC uses your appraisals and evidence to renew your license to practice.
- Outcome – Confirmation that you meet GMC standards or guidance on further actions if needed.

The revalidation UK process is designed to ensure doctors remain competent, up to date, and fit to practice. It operates on a five-year cycle and relies on the completion of annual appraisals.
Key steps include:- Completing an annual GMC appraisal every year.
- Gathering supporting evidence such as CPD logs, patient feedback, and governance data.
- Having a Responsible Officer review your appraisals and evidence over the five years.
- The Responsible Officer makes a revalidation recommendation to the GMC, which then renews your license.
This process safeguards patient care standards while supporting doctors in their professional growth.
The annual return process GMC requires is a yearly submission that keeps your professional records current and transparent. It helps the GMC verify your ongoing fitness to practice and maintain public trust.
What it involves:
- Updating your scope of practice and roles.
- Recording your professional development activities, including CPD.
- Confirming your appraisal status for the year.
- Providing relevant governance data and evidence.
- Ensuring your details remain accurate on the GMC register.
We offer full assistance to ensure this process is completed correctly alongside your GMC appraisal and revalidation requirements.
