Revalidation & Responsible Officer services
Every licensed doctor needs a prescribed connection to a designated body and a Responsible Officer to revalidate. For smaller organisations, providing that in-house is costly and burdensome — so we provide it for you.
The challenge
Designated body obligations, without the overhead
Under the Medical Profession (Responsible Officers) Regulations 2010, designated bodies must appoint a Responsible Officer with a prescribed connection to their doctors, who makes revalidation recommendations to the GMC. Where an organisation has only a handful of doctors, building that function internally is expensive and administratively heavy.
We solve this by acting as your external Responsible Officer — or by providing a GMC Suitable Person for individual doctors — removing the cost and administrative burden entirely.
