Every organisation which employs doctors (designated bodies in the language of the legislation and regulat ions) is required to appoint a doctor as the Responsible Officer\, who is responsible for evaluating the fitness to practice of doctors and making r eferrals and recommendations to the General Medical Council. \n\n As par t of research funded by the Department of Health Policy Research Programme and with the support of the General Medical Council\, we surveyed all Res ponsible Officers for designated bodies in the UK to examine their experie nces of implementing revalidation and its effects on their organisation. We secured full or partial survey responses from 418 responsible officers/ designated bodies (a response rate of 70%\, noting that some doctors act a s responsible officer for more than one designated body and we only asked those individuals to respond for one designated body). \n\n We collected d ata on the resources organisations had made available to support and imple ment revalidation\; the role and responsibilities of responsible officers and their teams\; the use and impact of systems for managing quality and s afety (which provide much of the supporting information for appraisal and revalidation)\; decision making about recommendations on revalidation\; pr ocesses for dealing with concerns about doctors’ performance\; the perce ived impact of revalidation on the organisation and on the quality and saf ety of clinical practice\; and responsible officers’ ideas about how re validation arrangements could be improved. \n\n We found that the introduc tion of revalidation had led to some substantial change in organisations\, particularly in those which had not had well established systems for qual ity and safety before. Responsible officers reported improvements in the rigour\, coverage and reporting of systems for appraisal\, CPD\, clinical audit\, complaints and significant events\, and some impacts on clinical practice. They also noted an impact on the way early concerns about perfo rmance were dealt with and the interface with the General Medical Council. \n\n About Kieran Walshe \n\n Kieran Walshe is Professor of Health Poli cy and Management at Manchester Business School\, and head of the health m anagement group at AMBS.
