How often do I need to participate in colleague and patient questionnaires for revalidation?
Doctors should participate in colleague and patient (where appropriate) questionnaires at least once in every five-year revalidation cycle. There should also be provision for a doctor to obtain further feedback within that revalidation cycle if concerns are identified in the first colleague and patient questionnaires. We do not envisage that doctors will need to provide information about participation in colleague and patient questionnaires at each annual appraisal.
