Medical Informatics Appraisal and Revalidation Lead
We know that some of our medical informatics members do not have an employing organisation which is able to carry out their appraisal or revalidation. To support these members, we are pleased to announce Jon Fistein has been appointed as volunteer Appraisal and Revalidation Lead. Jon is currently pulling together guidance, which will be published on the BCS website and is happy to take questions from BCS members. Whilst we get an email set up for Jon, please email jan.hoogewerf@bcs.uk in the interim.
