The GMC have now launched two pieces of guidance to help doctors with their appraisals for revalidation.
There is a press release and the guidance is live on the GMC website:

PDP Hints & Tips
This report presents the findings of a discourse analysis of patient and public involvement in published documents on medical revalidation. The aim of the study was to analyse documents in the public domain to determine where and how the patient is located within discourses about medical revalidation
The recently published, ‘Best practice guide to using real-time patient feedback’ has case studies, practical advice and a step by step guide showing how this important tool for driving up performance and improving services for patients can be implemented in GP practices in your areas.

The RCGP have proposed a system of learning credits in which credits can be gained for educational activity and the number of credits doubled if impact on patient care can be demonstrated.
For revalidation all supporting information will need to be mapped to the attributes of Good Medical Practice.
these Evidence of Learning forms are available for documenting learning activity. There are two versions available, both formats meet the current requirements for revalidation. Please let us have any feedback you wish to give on the use of the forms.
