Information on the recognition route

Recognition route application process

The Recognition route will run three cohorts per year starting April, August and December. 

Doctors working within the scope of the credential and wishing to be acknowledged as credential holders will apply for recognition to be a credential holder.

The Recognition route is an entirely new process for acknowledging a doctor’s knowledge, skills and experience against a number of credential specific capabilities in practice (CiPs) and procedural skills. Doctors who can demonstrate they meet the outcomes of a GMC (General Medical Council) credential can be awarded the credential by providing evidence instead of completing the credential training pathway.

For further details on a recognition route application please refer to the Credential Specific Guidance which can be viewed at Credential Specific Guidance
