Certificate confirming eligibility for GP registration (CEGPR
or Article 11)
A CEGPR (Certificate Confirming Eligibility for GP Registration)
is awarded to doctors who have not followed the standard CCT route
and have not completed a full PMETB approved training programme and
wish to have their training, qualifications and experience assessed
for eligibility for entry into the GP register.
If the training you are putting forward for assessment includes
any of the following:
- Posts undertaken outside the United Kingdom.
- Posts within the United Kingdom, which were not selected for GP
training purposes when they were undertaken.
- Experience undertaken more than seven years prior to your
application for a certificate.
then you will need to apply to PMETB for a Certificate
confirming Eligibility for General Practice Registration (CEGPR)
under Article 11. Please note that applicants will need to apply to
PMETB 6 months prior to the completion date of their training
programme.
Please note that the law does not allow PMETB to accept
applications from doctors who do not have training or
qualifications in general practice.
Further information about the PMETB application
process, specialty
specific guidance regarding suitable
experience, and the relevant application forms, are available on
their website.
The specialty specific guidance describes the criteria required
for certification in general practice and you may wish to consider
whether your training programme will enable you to meet the
criteria listed.
You can also read the RCGP Article
11/CEGPR guidance.
The application process for this can be found on the PMETB
website www.pmetb.org.uk
Any existing GP trainees who are completing nMRCGP and are
applying under Article 11 for a CEGPR need to register
with the RCGP as soon as possible in order to obtain access to
their ePortfolio.
If you are completing SA, you will need to continue to document
your training on VTR forms in order to submit these to PMETB with
your application for a CEGPR.
