Voluntary removal applications

Voluntary removal is the process where a PA or AA requests to be removed from the register.

A PA or AA may request voluntary removal for a number of reasons including moving overseas, retirement or for other reasons that mean they are no longer able to or wish to practise as a PA or AA.

The GMC will usually manage requests for voluntary removal as part of their registration services, but where there are fitness to practise concerns the request for voluntary removal will be considered by an MPTS tribunal.
