Doctors in UK to face annual competence test Print E-mail
London: In a landmark reform set to impact thousands of Indian professionals, practising doctors in the UK will have to undergo mandatory annual assessments to check their competence, a report said today.

The report, 'Medical Revalidation: Principles and Next Steps', by Britain's Chief Medical Officer Liam Donaldson outlines plans for more than 150,000 practising doctors to undergo the mandatory yearly reviews. Senior doctors will be appointed to weed out poor performers. It also says that family doctors, hospital consultants and private practitioners will have to apply to renew their licences every five years.

In the biggest reform of medical regulation for 150 years in the UK, inspectors will use evidence from patients questionnaires and feedback from colleagues to weed out incompetent doctors. Doctors "unable to remedy significant shortfalls in their standards of practice" risk being removed from the medical register, The Times newspaper said today. The system the first of its kind in the world is designed to identify doctors who repeatedly make poor clinical decisions. Trials will begin within two years, the report said.

The medical colleges, which represent different clinical specialties, will have to develop tests to check that doctors are keeping abreast of advances. According to the British daily, at the moment doctors face no formal reassessments of their competence, clinical skills or performance between entering independent practice as a GP or consultant and retiring. The proposals were produced with the General Medical Council (GMC) and the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, the report said.
