Renewing your registration

You pay your annual renewal fee by direct debit, either in 12 monthly instalments or as a single payment. Direct debit is the only payment method the RCT accepts, so keep your direct debit details up to date.

If you do not pay your renewal fee, your entry on the register shows as ‘lapsed’. If this happens, contact the RCT. Within 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, meeting all the current criteria and paying the application fee.

To switch from annual to monthly direct debit, complete the monthly direct debit application form.

What you confirm when you renew

By paying your renewal fee, you confirm that:

  • you continue to work in a qualifying branch of medical physics, clinical engineering, medical equipment maintenance, medical equipment manufacturing or sonography
  • you will undertake continuing professional development (CPD)
  • you will abide by the RCT Code of Professional Conduct
  • you have suitable and sufficient professional indemnity insurance where your employer does not provide it
  • you do not have any health condition that you believe will affect your ability to practise safely and effectively, as set out in the health and conduct declarations policy
  • you have no convictions, cautions or civil or disciplinary proceedings to declare, as set out in the health and conduct declarations policy

Updating your details

The online register shows the details held in the RCT’s records. If any of your details are wrong, contact the RCT. Changes are checked against your application and certificate first.

Name changes: you will be asked to confirm your email address or date of birth and to provide evidence, such as a marriage certificate or deed poll.

Location: the register shows the location of your employment, not a personal address.

Registration number, scope of practice and status: these cannot be changed on request. If you have changed scope of practice, read the career break and career change policy. If your status shows as lapsed, check that your renewal payment has gone through.

If you have questions about direct debits or the renewal process, contact the RCT.
