Consultation on revised guidance on returning to practice

This consultation is now closed.

We are seeking views on draft revised guidance on returning to practice.

Our returning to practice requirements help to ensure that registrants who have been out of practice for more than two years, and wish to return, update their knowledge and skills in order to resume safe and effective practice. We produce guidance to help people who have taken a break from practising, or are considering doing so, to understand our requirements.

The guidance was last published in 2006 and we have updated it to make sure it continues to be clear and helpful.

You can download a copy of the consultation document and the draft revised guidance below. You will need to refer to these when responding.
