Practitioners who have allowed their registration to lapse for less than two years may reapply without going through the full application process, provided they:

• Can supply up-to-date documentation and meet all original conditions, requirements, and commitments outlined in the Register application process.

• Have no upheld complaints or sanctions from the Register.

• Have no upheld complaints or sanctions from any other accredited register.

Practitioners whose registration has lapsed for more than two years must complete a full reapplication. They must demonstrate satisfactory practitioner retraining before applying, as follows:

• 2 to 5 years lapsed: 20 hours of retraining.

• Over 5 years lapsed: 35 hours of retraining.

These requirements also apply to practitioners who, for any reason, have not worked as a practitioner since qualification.

This reapplication framework applies only to the practices covered by this Register. Membership in other accredited registers will only be considered in line with a practitioner’s active memberships at the time of reapplication.

Practitioners who have been removed from the Register due to sanctions — whether under this Register or any other accredited register — may apply to have their membership restored. Such applications will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the Professional Conduct Review Committee, whose decision will be final.
