Description for Medical Regulation, Fitness to Practice and Revalidation: A Critical Introduction
Hardback. This topical and authoritative book examines how the regulation of doctors has been modernised by the introduction of the quality assurance process medical revalidation. In doing so, it questions if there indeed is evidence to support the argument that revalidation serves the public interest by ensuring individual doctors are fit to practice. Num Pages: 96 pages. BIC Classification: JHB; MBS. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 198 x 129. .
Medical sociology has traditionally focused on the governance of 'troublesome' social groups, including the unwell, the `deviant’, and the criminally insane. But recently, it has explored how the state ensures the public is protected from medical malpractice, negligence, and criminality. Against the background of some high-profile scandals, this authoritative book examines the modernisation of the regulation of doctors by the introduction of a quality assurance process. Highlighting areas of good practice, this book will be required reading for scholars of medical sociology, medical education and health policy.

Reviews for Medical Regulation, Fitness to Practice and Revalidation: A Critical Introduction
"Chamberlain provides an effective critique of revalidation. With the limited research and evidence available, he shows that not much has changed in the work of the General Medical Council and questions whether revalidation changes behavior. This should be required reading for those concerned with professional regulation in Britain and United States." Ruth Horowitz, Professor of Sociology, New York University ... Read more
