Important licensing information

The licence to practise will be introduced on 16 November 2009. To practise medicine after licensing begins, doctors will, by law, need to be registered with a licence to practise. All newly registered and newly restored doctors will automatically be granted a licence to practise when licensing is introduced. You can find out more in our licensing and revalidation guidance.
