GMC (UK) Registration for Doctors
I had a dream I was seven/ Climbing my way in a tree/ I saw a piece of heaven/ Waiting impatient for me
Hey guys!
There is a level of confusion surrounding GMC registration that we’d like to clear up and clarify as much as possible. First of all, let’s get into the types of GMC registration.
If we take it in the first instance, we can divide it into provisional and full registration.
Provisional registration is the type of registration you are eligible for if you’ve not completed an acceptable pattern of internship. You will, however, need to check with GMC as to whether or not you’d need to take PLAB in order to qualify for this registration route.
Full registration means you have completed an acceptable pattern of internship, and have obtained registration via PLAB, an acceptable overseas or UK qualification, from the sponsorship route, or acceptable overseas licensing exams (ex: USMLE, AMC).
Now you may be wondering if this full registration would allow you to work as a consultant in the UK. No. What you’d need to do after obtaining this registration is apply for ‘Specialist/GP’ registration.
This is not simply based on exams you have taken. This is based on completeing an accepted training program (plus the required Royal College exams). If not, you will need to prove competencies and show you have developed a portfolio akin to what a UK consultant in the same department would have made during their training process. This is known as applying for CESR/CEGPR.
Song of the Week
The day always get better with a little Monkees, with perhaps their best known song I’m a Believer to keep you happy and on your toes.
TV Shows to Binge
A redeveloped story taking place in 1950’s Egypt, Grand Hotel (or Secret of the Nile on Netflix) is a hauntingly beautiful story about a brother searching for his missing sister. Not only is the plot engaging and filled with intrigue, but the overall feeling of a time forgotten makes you wish you could transport yourself to that era. If you like mystery with a little drama, do not miss this!
