As the GMC consultation on revalidation draws to a close, many doctors and surgeons in particular are expressing serious concerns about the complexity of the process, especially surrounding data collection for the craft specialties. A process which, for 99% of doctors should be simple, achievable and routine is perceived as too complex, resulting in a mixture of emotions from anxiety about whether individual data collection is possible on the scale prescribed by the Standards Frameworks of the AoMRC to outright rebellion in some cases.
