<p>General practitioners (GPs) are responsible for ensuring their own clinical knowledge,
including for Musculoskeletal and rheumatic conditions, remains up-to-date and for
identifying learning needs as part of their continuing professional development. This
activity should include taking account of new research and developments in guidance,
such as that produced by National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, to ensure
that they can continue to provide high quality care to all patients.</p><p>All United
Kingdom registered doctors are expected to meet the professional standards set out
in the General Medical Council (GMC). In 2012 the GMC introduced revalidation which
supports doctors in regularly reflecting on how they can develop or improve their
practice, gives patients confidence doctors are up to date with their practice and
promotes improved quality of care by driving improvements in clinical governance.</p>
