The GP Induction and Refresher Scheme provides an opportunity for GPs who have previously been on the General Medical Council’s GP Register and on a UK Performers List, to safely return to General Practice following a career break or time spent working abroad.
It also supports the safe introduction of overseas GPs who have qualified in the European Union and other countries. These doctors require a Certificate of Eligibility for GP Registration as well as a licence to practice from the General Medical Council before they can legally enter UK general practice.
