Returning from overseas practice

If you wish to return to work in the UK after working overseas in a relevant post, the Return from Overseas Practice policy applies to all registrants.

All registrants who leave the UK to work overseas in a relevant post and subsequently return to the UK, must complete a Return from Overseas Practice Notification form on their return. Depending on how long they have been working outside of the UK, evidence of updating may be required on their return in order to satisfy the RCT Management Board that competency has been maintained.  Please see the policy for further details.

When reinstating your registration following your return from overseas you will need to provide a period of updating as per the policy on returning from overseas practice. This involves providing departmental training records certified by your current line manager and another proposer. One of these proposers should be professional registered as per the proposer requirements for an initial application. The documentation will then be assessed by the RCT Registrar and the decision communicated to you usually within 30 days.
