Abstract
The advent of revalidation has created a need for occupational physicians to be provided with further advice on the preparation of their supporting information. A road show was delivered to the Society of Occupational Medicine (SOM) regional groups to meet the need. The objective of the road show was to improve delegates' confidence in the selection and development of supporting information for appraisal and revalidation by assembling a collection of tools. To provide internal evaluation of the effectiveness of the road show. The audience voting software Turning Point(®) was used to gather delegates' responses to various questions on their opinion and confidence self-rating. Data were then collated from all iterations. Eighty per cent of delegates became more confident in the selection and development of supporting information for appraisal and revalidation, with the improvement in rating scores being highly significant (P < 0.001). The importance of audit and the use of self-reflective were emphasized. Internal validation using Turning Point(®) was most useful. This was the first time that the SOM had used a road show format to deliver an educational topic. The road show format was successful, and other similar topics would benefit from a similar delivery.
