Return to Welsh Partnership Hub

Revalidation applies to all doctors and dentists who wish to practise in the UK.

All medical staff and dental staff

There are policies and protocols which apply to all employed medical and dental staff in NHS Wales, or to all employing NHS bodies in Wales.

Doctors in training

The contract for doctors in training is a UK-wide contract, negotiated and agreed between representatives of each of the 4 UK home countries, the service throughout the NHS including in Wales, and the BMA through a body known as the JNC(J).

In Wales, the Junior Doctors Review Group (JDRG) comprises representatives of the service in Wales, of medical education institutions such as the Welsh Deanery, and of doctors in training, the BMA, and Welsh Government, and meets to discuss issues related to doctors in training in Wales.  It does not negotiate terms and conditions of service.

Fatigue and Facilities Charter - Wales 

The Fatigue and Facilities Charter in Wales has been developed in partnership by BMA Cymru Wales, NHS Wales Employers and Welsh Government to provide a comprehensive and ambitious set of standards, recognising the opportunities for NHS Wales employers to work towards in enhancing the working environment for doctors and dentists in training in Wales.

Fatigue and Facilities Implementation Charter Toolkit - Wales

Revalidation

The purpose of revalidation is to assure patients and the public, employers and other healthcare professionals that licensed doctors are up to date and fit to practise. 

Through local clinical governance, effective appraisal and revalidation, employers and the General Medical Council will be able to provide further assurances to patients and the public that doctors working in the UK are fit to practise.

Revalidation in Wales, along with the other UK counties was launched in late 2012.

Consultants

The amended Consultant Contract was introduced in Wales in December 2003.  This differs from the Consultant contracts that apply in each of the other UK countries, and was negotiated between Welsh Government, the service in Wales, and the BMA.  The agreement was reached through a body known as the Forum Terms and Conditions Committee, which was replaced by the current Joint Welsh Consultant Contract Committee (JWCCC) in 2008, where issues related to the contract are considered.

Appointment of Consultants in the NHS in Wales: Good Practice Guidance May 2022

It is in everyone’s interests, particularly those of patients in Wales, to ensure that high quality and skilled individuals are appointed to consultant job roles. Those roles should be interesting and varied enough to attract high calibre candidates who will want to make their career in Wales. The previous Good Practice Guidance issued in 2012 is superseded and replaced by the 2022 Guidance.
