The GP International Induction and Return to Practice Programmes
Would you like to return to general practice or have your overseas GP qualification recognised to allow you to join the NHS’ GP workforce? There are now even more reasons to apply.
If you have previously worked as a GP in the UK, or if you are seeking to have your overseas GP training experience recognised to allow you to apply to join the NHS GP workforce, the GP International induction and Return to Practice Programmes provide straightforward routes to safely induct you back into practice.
Any doctor wishing to work as an independent and unsupervised GP in the UK is required to:
- be on the GMC’s GP Register
- hold a GMC license to practise
- be on the National Performers List (NPL).
There is now a single entry point to the programme operating in England and Wales through the GP National recruitment Office website. This provides candidates with a clear guidance about the programme, who can apply, how to apply and what you can expect in the assessments.
