Revalidation
From December 2012 onwards all licensed doctors in the UK will have to demonstrate they are up to date and fit to practice through a process called revalidation. BMJ Careers has been following the gestation of the revalidation since its inception many years ago and is here to help with practical advice on how to complete the process successfully.
