<p>We have made no assessment. General practitioners (GPs) are responsible for ensuring
their own clinical knowledge 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 the National Institute for Care Excellence, to ensure that they can continue to
provide high-quality care to all patients.</p><p>All UK registered doctors are expected
to meet the professional standards set out in the General Medical Council’s (GMC’s)
Good Medical Practice. In 2012, the GMC introduced revalidation which supports doctors
in regularly reflecting on how they can develop or improve their practice. This gives
patients confidence doctors are up to date with their practice and promotes improved
quality of care by driving improvements in clinical governance.</p><p>The training
curricula for postgraduate trainee doctors is set by the relevant medical Royal College
and has to meet the standards set by the GMC. The Royal College of General Practitioners
has developed an allergy e-learning online resource to support their continuing professional
development which aims to educate GPs about the various presentations of allergic
disease.</p>
