How far have we come along the pathway?

4. To date Monthly – bi-monthly Revalidation Workshops
‘Health-check’ to review Revalidation progress at time of PDR (but kept separate)
Regular newsletters
Moodle site
1/4 of the over 100 NMC staff in the University trained as Confirmers
Nearly 1/3 of the staff have undertaken Revalidation
Several staff have acted as Reflective Discussion Partners and/or Confirmers for non-University staff
Multi-professional health and social care Schwartz Rounds have been set up across the two Faculties: FHHS and PUPSMD
Reflective Discussion Forum is being set up in partnership with RDEFT
Pilot survey has been undertaken in preparation for the RRiP project; ethical approval awaited for full study

5. Comments and emerging issues
Role of Reflective Discussion Partner and Confirmer pivotal
Staff appreciate having choice over Confirmer
Confirmers in the University are all NMC registrants (prepared) and very aware of accountability
Revalidation process generally more straight-forward than expected
Majority of staff find this a constructive developmental opportunity
Learning from each other
Suggestions that some elements of the process may need to be more prescriptive to avoid ‘evaders’
Potential for some staff to ‘fall between gaps’ – may result in non- revalidation

8. So what are the NMC perspectives to date?
3-year IPSOS MORI longitudinal study in progress
