Important notice for EEA graduates

We strongly advise EEA graduates to ensure they work in a GMC approved practice setting (APS) when they first take up employment in the UK under full registration. We also advise EEA doctors restored to the register after prolonged absence from medical practice to work initially in a GMC APS. Read more about the approved practice settings, which were introduced as part of the New Registration Framework on 19 October 2007.
