Restoration and returning to the register

If you have been registered before, check which return process applies to you before you make a new application.

Career break or career change

If you are taking or returning from a career break, or changing your scope of practice, read the career breaks and career changes guidance, then notify the RCT using the relevant form:

Return from overseas practice

If you have been working overseas, complete the notification form when you return to the UK. You may need to provide evidence of updating. Read the returning from overseas practice guidance.

Removal and restoration policy

If your registration has lapsed because a renewal payment was missed, contact the RCT. If you have been lapsed for less than 13 months, your registration can be reinstated once your direct debit is set up again and the renewal fee is paid. After 13 months, you may need to make a full new application. For other situations, read the Policy on removal and restoration to the register (PDF).
