Those Doctors working full time overseas will still have to participate in revalidation if they retain their Licence to Practise in the UK. Should they wish to do this they will need to link up with a Responsible Officer in the UK. They will also need to meet the competencies required for revalidation in the UK. As standards of practice differ from country to country it may, therefore, be easier for those working full time overseas to relinquish their Licence to Practise in the UK. When they return to the UK the process of restoring the Doctors Licence should be straightforward. The GMC do not charge for this.
