You were registered with the GMC (General Medical Council) in the past, but then lost your registration. You can apply for restoration with our full support.

The GMC will most likely restore you to the status you had before erasure. This means that:

  • if you were registered with a licence, you will be restored with a licence.
  • if you were registered without a licence, you will be restored without a licence.

To practise in the UK, you also need a licence to practise. So, if you never had a licence in the past, then your most important goal is to pass the Academic IELTS or OET exam, one of the two English language certifications accepted by the GMC. Find out the minimum required scores.

The GMC could accept alternative proof of English language competence in a very limited number of scenarios. These are highly case-specific, though, and you most likely have to take the Academic IELTS or the OET.

Note that it is for the GMC to decide to either restore you or ignore your previous registration history and ask you to register from scratch. In that case, GMC Restoration is not what you need – you need GMC Registration with ECFMG-EPIC by UKmed.

Six reasons to choose GMC Restoration by UKmed

Our all-inclusive service package offers you complete peace of mind. We will:

  • start off by checking whether you need restoration or re-registration, and advise you accordingly
  • obtain all the required documents
  • get the right certificates of prior employment
  • translate the right documents
  • prepare the restoration application for submission
  • manage the process through to completion.

How fast will the GMC restore me to the register?

Once all the necessary documents are in place and correct, it will usually take less than a month. Of course, this depends on the GMC’s response – they could ask for more information and documents than you expect.

We strongly advise against making any promises to potential employers without consulting with us first.

Restoration fees to pay to the GMC

The GMC will ask you to pay two amounts:

  • the annual subscription that every doctor pays
  • a one-off penalty fee, but only if you were erased from the register for not paying your subscription. This does not apply if you left the register paid up.
