"We expect you to collect supporting information from practice you undertake in the UK.
Only in exceptional circumstances would a doctor with supporting information drawn wholly or substantively from overseas practice be able to maintain their UK licence to practise. Responsible officers or suitable persons may decide to accept supporting information from overseas practice if they are satisfied that it meets the same standards as those expected in the UK and so gives them assurance about your continued fitness to practise. Speak to your responsible officer or suitable person if you intend to practise overseas while holding a UK licence to practise." |
