I'm retired, do I need to enrol on a Professional Competence Scheme?

Modified on Thu, 1 May, 2025 at 11:35 AM

Yes 

As long as you hold Medical Council registration on the Supervised, General or Specialist Register, you must be enrolled on Professional Competence Scheme.  Your legal requirement to engage in Professional Competence is tied to your Medical Council Registration, not your employment status
