Applying for entry onto the Specialist Register or GP Register

Doctors who have previously held registration but are no longer registered - your next steps

Before you apply for entry onto the Specialist Register or GP Register, you should hold full registration with a licence to practise. This means that you will need to make an application for restoration.

Please read our guidance on applying for restoration to the register.

If it is your intention to practise as a specialist or a GP in the UK, it will be helpful to you to find out which application for entry onto the Specialist Register or GP Register you will be eligible to make and the steps that are involved in that application process. You may be able to begin preparing your application for entry onto the Specialist Register or GP Register now as you wait for your application for restoration to be assessed.

If you wish to do so, please also answer the eligibility questions to find out which route for entry onto the Specialist Register or GP Register you will be eligible for once you are registered and read the guidance that is associated with that application.
