Online resources

The Revalidation Support Unit (RSU) have designed, developed and now manage a suite of online resources which support doctors and designated bodies through the medical appraisal and revalidation process:

The Medical Appraisal Revalidation System (MARS) has been the single appraisal management system for all doctors with a prescribed connection in Wales since 2014. It is used by over 8,500 doctors to facilitate their annual appraisal and to meet revalidation requirements. MARS is continuously reviewed to ensure it remains fit-for-purpose.

Orbit360™ is a purpose-built end-to-end patient and colleague feedback system developed for all doctors with a prescribed connection to an NHS designated body in Wales. Orbit360™ offers an intuitive user interface and GMC-validated feedback forms to ensure the doctor’s collated report satisfies the requirements of revalidation. Its adaptive platform will enable future use by other professions in the future.

Trained staff within RSU provide a dedicated Service Desk service to support all our online systems and answer any user queries.

If you would like to find out more or are interested in using any of our systems, please contact us for more information.
