DHSC publishes the outcomes of its consultation on international registration

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has reported the outcomes of its consultation on proposals to reform the legislation governing the registration of those who qualify outside of the UK. The consultation was opened in February and closed in May 2022.

GDC have been working with the DHSC for some time to make changes to their outdated and rigid legislation. GDC very much welcome this package of reform, as the proposed changes mean they will be able to modernise their processes while continuing to apply their standards for registration, which protect patients and promote public confidence.

You can read more about international registration reforms on the GDC website.
