MARS Medical Appraisal Revalidation System
MARS is an all-Wales system provided by Health Education & Improvement Wales and funded by Welsh Government to facilitate the appraisal and revalidation of doctors.
If you are new to MARS or new to Appraisal & Revalidation you can find useful information on our Revalidation Wales website.
If you are a GP please use GP MARS.
Did you know that Good Medical Practice (GMP) 2024 came into effect on 30th January? To help doctors apply it, the GMC have refreshed some supporting pieces of guidance. The Revalidation Support Unit will be updating the GMP domains to reflect these changes during the course of the year.
Further information can be obtained here - https://www.gmc-uk.org/professional-standards/good-medical-practice-2024/get-to-know-good-medical-practice-2024.
Please note, the types of supporting information you need to collect and reflect upon for appraisal and revalidation have not been changed.
