Returning from overseas practice

If you return to work in the UK after working overseas in a relevant post, the Return from Overseas Practice policy (PDF) applies to you.

When you return

When you return to the UK, complete a Return from overseas practice notification form.

Depending on how long you have worked outside the UK, you may need to show the RCT Management Board evidence that you have kept your competence up to date. See the policy for details.

Reinstating your registration

To reinstate your registration, you need to complete a period of updating, as set out in the policy.

Provide departmental training records certified by your current line manager and another proposer, one of whom must be professionally registered (see proposer requirements). The Registrar assesses the records and usually lets you know the decision within 30 days.
