I want to appeal - what should I do?

You should download the Guidance for Appellants (Physician Associates and Anaesthesia Associates) Appealing a registration, removal or re-entry decision. This contains all the information you need on our appeals process. 

Once you have read the factsheet, you need to download and complete the AP7 form (for PAs) or AP8 form (for AAs)

The contents of the notice of appeal and supporting evidence will be used to determine whether the decision should be revised or permission to appeal be granted. It is therefore important that all the information that you wish to be considered should be included at this stage. Failure to include the required evidence may result in permission to appeal not being granted.

You must pay the required appeal fee. You can find out the fee for an appeal on our fees page. For further information see our fees guidance for PA and AA appeals.

We must receive your completed notice of appeal and appeal fee within 28 days of notification of the decision appealed. We will not consider your appeal where the notice of appeal is submitted late.

If you intend to instruct solicitors or counsel, you should do so as early as possible. You must authorise the Appeals team to deal with a representative acting for you by providing a signed authority AP3 form, which can be posted or emailed. You must email a scanned copy with a signature from the email address we hold on our records for you.
