With revalidation, proving we are up to date is going to be as important as staying up to date! We are now providing a Revalidation Action Plan with some updates which will help you by providing a simple framework to put some of the new evidence and guidance into practice. We've also provided Word versions so you can type up your notes and upload them straight onto the appraisal system - what could be easier?!
