I cannot organise 'clinical' revalidation because of 1 above. I have no
patients!

The thought never entered my mind :-)
Question: the law says you cannot call yourself a doctor unless GMC
registered. The GMC says each doctor will be licenced in their sphere of
practice. In my case (and others), that sphere of practice is
informatics. Will I still be able to call myself 'doctor', or does the
GMC interpretation of the law applies only to 'clinically active' doctors?
