Regulating doctors, ensuring good medical practice

Notifying us of completion of 12 months practice in an approved practice setting

This guidance provides information for doctors who registered (or restored to the register) before 3 December 2012 and have completed 12 months of full time equivalent practice in an approved practice setting (APS).

If you registered after 3 December 2012, you must work in an approved practice setting until you revalidate for the first time.

For more information, please read our guidance on approved practice settings (opens in a new window).
