APPRAISAL AND REVALIDATION SERIES The Appraisal and Revalidation Series helps doctors demonstrate their competence to the standard expected by the General Medical Council and to the standard expected if they are recognised as having 'special clinical interests'. It helps doctors gather evidence of their performance for appraisal and revalidation portfolios. Revalidation will change the emphasis of regulation of doctors with an interest in reproductive medicine away from the qualifications of MRCOG or DRCOG towards regular assessment of a doctor's competence to practise and it will be incumbent upon the individual doctors whether in training or in substantive posts in primary or secondary care to reflect on their work and to demonstrate expertise within their special clinical interests. This book will help to alleviate anxieties by removing the 'fear of the unknown' through a series of concise chapters covering the crucial clinical areas in reproductive healthcare. I commend the excellent practical advice on how to accumulate revalidation data by using practical examples based on cycles of evidence.I envisage that many of us involved in the care of women will refer to this book time and time again. It is an excellent contribution that will help doctors immensely in their preparation for the requirements of revalidation on all aspects of reproductive health Professor Steve Field in his foreword For more information on other titles in this series please click here

The burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is enormous and is increasing, but early, accurate diagnosis in a primary care setting can have a crucial impact on managing the condition. New NICE guidelines and the GMS Contract with incentives give GPs and practice nurses the opportunity to diagnose COPD patients and manage them in a structured fashion. This book brings together clear and concise information for GPs and primary healthcare teams on how this can be achieved accurately and effectively. This book sets out a very practical approach to caring for one group who can demonstrably benefit from access to the very best that primary care can offer: patients living with COPD. This book is for busy primary care physicians and nurses committed to improving diagnosis, enabling self-management, ensuring rapid treatment, and providing truly patient-centred care. Written by an experienced, practising general practitioner, it provides a timely contribution to the high-quality primary care services needed now and in the future.A " - from the Foreword by Gail Richards Anita Sharma is to be congratulated on producing a clear, concise and practical book on COPD which will educate, give confidence to, and encourage primary care physicians to manage this important disease effectively and at an early stage.A" - from the Foreword by Joyce Barclay

This won't hurt a bit...How do you show that you consistently provide high quality clinical care both as an individual doctor and member of a team? How do you provide convincing evidence of your performance that justifies you as being fit to practise? And how do you achieve this in a way that is not too burdensome?Revalidation will now be more stringent that ever. You might need help gathering information so that your evidence is sufficiently robust and objective, presenting it so that addresses the fields in the General Medical Council's document. You'll need to make sure you match your portfolio with what is expected in your specialty area.This book helps you to sustain your energy in gathering and reviewing evidence of your day-to-day performance at work so that you are recertified and relicensed with ease, whatever future revisions are made to the revalidation process. By suggesting proactive and structured methods, this book offers easy to comprehend ways to guide you through the evidence cycle, with many examples in both clinical and non-clinical fields. It is ideal for primary care and hospital doctors preparing for revalidation, including trainee doctors. Appraisers, and trainee appraisers in trusts, deaneries or general practice will find the guidance invaluable, as will appraisal leads in healthcare organisations and those with responsibility for quality assurance of appraisal as part of clinical governance or regulation.
