Conversation with the GMC's Revalidation team on 9th May confirmed that F1 trainees are emailed by the GMC registration department when their registration is changed from Provisional to Full and in that email they are informed that they need to connect themselves to the correct Designated Body Change of trainee registration status from Provisional to Full . If, after four months, the trainee is still not connected to a DB they are contacted again by the GMC to instruct them to connect themselves and warned that action will be taken by the GMC if they continue to remain disconnected. As we know that DBs/Local Offices undertake an audit around each October to ensure all appropriate trainees are connected to their DB the majority of trainees who have not connected themselves will be picked up in this audit (see email below from Andy Petherbridge for confirmation of this assumption).
" In theory, once (a trainee has) full GMC registration (i.e. following their F1 ARCP and before they start their F2 year), they will be prompted by the GMC to connect to a Designated Body; they would then connect to the Deanery/HEE local team through their GMC Online account.
In practice, we get a few connections this way (I emailed all of the F1 trainees progressing to F2 last year with some guidance and contacts regarding revalidation here, and that seemed to work fairly well), but most of them have been picked up when the GMC do a bulk refresh of our connections in October each year." - Andy Petheridge Petherbridge
- Disconnections
- When trainees have completed their programme (CCT or CCT + Grace Period for higher specialty) - either managed by programme team or revalidation administrator
- When trainees resign from the training programme for another reason (or are released from the programme - ARCP Outcome 4)
- Ad hoc when a trainee is noted to be wrongly connected to the DB (usually too soon at start of training)
- Connection to another DB because of a conflict of interest (with agreement)
