​​Your "designated body"

Most licensed doctors have a connection with one organisation that provides them with an annual appraisal and helps them with revalidation. This organisation is called your ‘designated body’.

For GPs on the English NHS performers list​ the designated body is normally their area team of NHS England.

It is the Responsible Officer of this designated body who makes a recommendation about you, usually every five years, that you are up to date, fit to practice and should be revalidated.

If you are not a GP on the English NHS Performers list, find your designated body using the GMC tool.
