You need to tell us if you have held registration or a license with any healthcare authority or regulator, in the UK or overseas, in the last five years.

Examples include:

  • the Nursing and Midwifery Council
  • the Health and Care Professions Council.

You do not need to tell us about membership or voluntary registration with the Royal College of Anaesthetists.

You only need to tell us about GMC registration if you are (or have previously been) registered as a doctor with us.

If you have held registration or a license with any healthcare authority or regulator, in the UK or overseas, in the last five years, then we’ll need a Certificate of Current Professional Status (sometimes also referred to as a Certificate of Good Standing). This will need to be provided to us directly from the organisation, you can find out more information about a Certificate of Current Professional Status.
