Please make sure you’ve read the guidance for you and your referees.

You should provide a structured report which:

  • Covers your most recent period of practice in the specialty you have applied in
  • Is completed by a colleague at consultant level in the specialty

If you have not practised in the specialty you have applied in for more than three years, you may also wish to provide a structured report from a colleague who has worked with you more recently. An example of this would be if you have sub-specialised your practice since being awarded your recognised Specialist qualification.

You should also check if any additional references are required as listed for your recognised specialist qualification.

You should ask the referee to complete our reference form. You will need to provide their contact information in the ‘Referee details’ area of your online application and upload a copy of the reference in ‘Your evidence’.

We will contact your referees to verify the reports as part of the application process. If they are registered with the GMC we will contact them by their registered email. You should provide a professional contact email for overseas referees who are not registered with the GMC.
