You will need to add an employer reference covering the most recent three months of your employment. If you had more than one healthcare employer during this period, we will need references from each employer.

A copy of the employer reference form will be available to download on GMC Online, but you can also find more guidance, including a link to the form in our Employer references for PAs and AAs guide.

We can only allow you to upload one document on GMC Online so if you need to send additional employer references, you’ll need to do this by emailing them over to the applications team. The details of this will be available to you in GMC Online.

If you have not worked in healthcare within the last five years, you do not need to add a reference.
