Appeals

I’m a doctor and I want to appeal:

a decision by a medical practitioners tribunal to take me off the register
a decision about my registration application
a decision about my Specialist or General Practice Registration application (CCT, CESR, CEGPR)
a decision to withdraw my licence to practise (Revalidation)
a decision to refuse to grant me a licence to practise

The Medical Act 1983 provides information about appealing Registration and Specialist Registration application decisions, as well as licence to practise and Revalidation decisions.
