Registering as a doctor – page 5 of 9

Your recent work experience

When completing your application, you will be asked to provide details of all of your work experience from the last five years both medical and non-medical. You must account for all periods in the last five years when you were not engaged in medical practice including:

• alternative employment
• clinical attachments
• vacation
• study leave
• maternity leave
• career breaks
• unemployment

 

Documents you must submit: Employer references

If there are any periods during the last five years in which you have not been registered with a medical regulatory authority, but have been working in either a medical or non-medical capacity, you must provide a reference from each employer.

Each employer needs to complete an employer reference form (43kb, pdf). This should be completed by your line manager or a member of human resources.

Each form must confirm:

• The dates of your employment
• That they are not aware of any matters that call into question your good standing.

If you were working in a medical capacity, the form must also confirm that you are or were not required to hold registration with a medical regulatory authority to undertake the post.

Please note that reference forms are only valid for three months from the date they are signed.

We will ask you to send us these documents by post.
