Application decision
Successful applications
If your application is successful this means that you’ve met the assessment standards in full. You’ll receive confirmation of your registration and your name will be entered onto the Specialist or GP Register.
We’ll send you a copy of our evaluation form relating to your decision. We’ll also send the documents you supplied in support of your application back to you via secure delivery.
You can update your registered address through your GMC Online account.
Unsuccessful applications
If you aren’t successful, we’ll tell you why. We’ll give you a list of recommendations which will tell you what evidence was missing or the top-up training you need to complete. We’ll either repeat our recommendations or give you new ones.
To reapply you’ll need to complete a new, full Portfolio pathway application for entry onto the Specialist or GP Register. Please contact us for further information.
