Independent Doctors Federation (IDF)

London, England, United Kingdom

The IDF was started in 1989 under the name Independent Doctors Forum and it incorporated as a company limited by guarantee in 1992. It was set up by a group of conscientious, like-minded and enthusiastic doctors working full time in the independent sector, who felt a platform was needed for open discussion, voicing ideas and exchanging views.

Since that time the IDF has grown in stature and significance and has taken on roles which far exceed the boundaries initially envisaged. This has been particularly true with the introduction of appraisal and revalidation and its implications for member doctors. It is also lobbying hard to make sure that the voice of the independent sector is heard within government, DOH, GMC, CQC.
