All doctors, regardless of the sector they work in, are required to complete an annual appraisal as part of the process of revalidation.  Doctors practising in both the NHS and independent sector will access their appraiser and Responsible Officer through their main NHS employer. They will need to undertake an appraisal that takes in to account their NHS and independent sector work.  This is known as whole practice appraisal.

This document has been prepared by the Independent Healthcare Advisory Services (IHAS) Revalidation Working Group which includes representation from IHAS, NHS Partners Network, NHS Employers, the Independent Doctors Federation, the London Consultants Association and the British Medical Association.
