Personally I think it is all total shite, the meanderings of the GMC over
the last few years and their complete and utter refusal to issue any sort of
concrete guidelines on reval for the large numbers of doctors who are not
working 90+ % of their time as GP principals or hospital docs let alone
opine intelligently on those who do work overseas has made me think more and
more about doing the bloody LMC, getting a permanent Canadian licence and
just going there 12 or so weeks a year to make enough to pay most of my
bills here. And stuff the GMC after that. But it all takes too much time
and effort and besides, the NI view (in GP anyway) is that if you do enough
GP to pass yourself as a GP locum or one of those things, then you can be
appraised as a GP with special interests and that process will be enough to
cover revalidation. Probably.
But as someone suggested, worth writing to the GMC anyway and asking for
specific things to do. Doubt if you'll get much out of them, as far as I can
they are STILL making the whole lot up as they go along.
