Registration and work history
You must provide details of all the medical regulatory authorities where you have held registration or a licence to practise in the last five years.
In addition, you must add all your work experience from:
- the last five years OR
- from the date your qualification was awarded, if this was less than five years ago.
Failure to provide any of this information could significantly delay your application or put your future registration at risk.
Your fitness to practise declaration
We need to ask you for information so that we can make sure you’re fit to practise before we register you.
Before you answer the questions, you should open our What to tell us when you apply – declaration tool and read our guide on What to tell us when you apply guide for doctors.
We only need to know about things that could affect your ability to work as a doctor or lower the public’s confidence in doctors. The guidance will help you decide what you do and don’t need to tell us about. In the past, we have refused to register doctors who have given us information that wasn’t true or didn’t tell us something they should have. But just because you tell us about something doesn’t mean you can’t rejoin the register. We treat all information you give us confidentially.
Please also note that in signing your declaration and submitting your application you are acknowledging that the GMC will complete global background checks on you.
