Working in an approved practice setting

For your first 12 months of full registration with a licence to practise you will be required to work within an approved practice setting. This means that you will only be able to work in settings that have been approved by the General Medical Council as having sufficiently supportive and quality assured systems aimed at improving quality in place.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you are working within an approved practice setting. If you work holding this registration and work outside of an approved practice setting then you must stop work and contact us immediately to allow us to investigate.

For more information please see our information about approved practice settings (opens in a new window) or our section on notifying us of completion of 12 months practice in an approved practice setting (opens in a new window).
