If you’ve been unsuccessful in your application, you may be eligible to apply for a review of our decision. Please read our review guide, which explains what to do next.

Any review of an unsuccessful application submitted before 30 November 2023 will be considered against the requirements and specialty guidance that were in place at the time of your initial application. Your review application will be considered against the suite of recommendations given as part of the evaluation of your initial application. If your initial application was made under the equivalence to CCT requirements (in place until the 30 November 2023), your recommendations will have been drafted in line with this. They will remain the requirements in place through your application journey including your review application and any appeal.

If you wish to apply under the new requirements of knowledge, skills and experience you’ll need to make a new full application.
