PH Revalidation
Public Health Specialist Standards
The General Medical Council formally approved the specialist standards for revalidation in public health and eleven other specialties on 14 December 2009. This approval covers a series of standards for all professionals practising within their specialty. The specialty standards are in line with the generic standards and criteria outlined in the GMC's Framework for Appraisal and Assessment which is an adaptation of Good Medical Practice.
The individual Colleges and Faculties (including FPH) also identified a range of supporting information for revalidation. The supporting information is still being considered by the GMC and will form part of the GMC’s revalidation consultation in February 2010.

Model
Together with the GMC and the Departments of Health, the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges has now proposed a single hybrid model of revalidation for all medical specialties.
This model may have to be adapted for use by public health professionals on the GDC and UKPHR registers, however, we would expect the process to be roughly equivalent.
The hybrid model can be seen below:
