    AbstractThe provision of clinical care in the United Kingdom now requires the acquisition of a licence to practise from the regulatory authority. A review process-revalidation has been put in place to ensure that standards of care are maintained by the medical workforce, and that all doctors remain up-to-date and fit for purpose so that this licence can be retained. This article outlines how this new statutory requirement pertains to paediatric surgery and highlights those areas where adjudication of competence remains imprecise and where progress in this process of revalidation needs to be made.Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Inc.
