Responsible Officer Training

NHS England training provided by and delivered in partnership with the General Medical Council and  NHS Resolution (Practitioner Performance Advice).

This training provides a valuable opportunity for responsible officers to share ideas, expertise and best practice and is open to:

• Current responsible officers (ROs) and their revalidation support teams if not previously trained
• ROs who may have missed some RO training sessions (the previous modules)
• New ROs
• Potential future ROs
• ROs who may wish to refresh their training
• Due to high demand, places for current or prospective ROs will be prioritised. 

By the end of the day, delegates should be able to:

• Describe the role and responsibility of a Responsible Officer and be able to distinguish how it fits with the role and responsibility of a Designated Body
• Recognise and manage a conflict of interest or appearance of bias
• Recognise the characteristics of an open and fair culture and the impact of this on the workforce
• Know the process of responding to a concern
• Understand the protocols of making revalidation recommendations
• Know who to contact for support and advice

Some pre-reading and short assessments will be shared in advance of the day. Completion of which is a pre-requisite for delegates to attend and places will be managed accordingly.
