Doctors need to:
- ensure that annual appraisals take place & that they participate fully in this process
- maintain a record of CPD activities
- demonstrate they are using the best available evidence and Best Practice in their clinical activities & patient care
- maintain a Portfolio of Evidence to support their case for Fitness to Practice.
- participate in a multi-source feedback called a 360 once every 5 years, asking colleagues and patients to complete a questionnaire about their fitness to practice.
