What is a GMC appraisal?
A GMC appraisal is an assessment of medical practice by the General Medical Council (GMC). The GMC is responsible for setting and maintaining standards of medical education, training, and conduct in the UK. An appraisal will assess whether your medical practice meets these standards, as well as provide you with feedback on how to improve.
Who should get a GMC appraisal?
Any doctor who owns or operates a medical practice should get a GMC appraisal. This includes GPs, hospital doctors, consultants, dentists, pharmacists and opticians. Appraisals are also mandatory for any doctor wishing to work in the UK or establish a new medical practice here.
How do I get a GMC appraisal?
You can get a GMC appraisal by contacting the GMC and submitting an application form. You will be required to submit your CV, as well as documents that prove you are a UK-based doctor or medical professional (if this is the case). You may also have to provide details about any previous GMC appraisals you have done before applying for one now.
How do I prepare for my GMC appraisal?
Once you have submitted your GMC appraisal application form and received confirmation of its acceptance, it’s time to start preparing! Here are some tips on how best to do so:
Talk with colleagues who have had their GMCs appraised in the past; they will likely be able to give you some valuable insights
Review your GMC portfolio and make sure you are familiar with all the documents it contains
Check that your medical practice is up to date with GMC standards; if not, work on fixing these before your appraisal
What happens after my GMC appraisal?
Assuming everything goes well, you will be given a report detailing the findings of your GMC appraisal. This report will be used to help you improve the standard of your medical practice. You must take any necessary action outlined in the report, and may also need to provide evidence that you have done so.
