Maintaining registration
Renewal of registration is required annually, and you will be notified in advance via email. Please check the Registration Fees page for details of the renewal fee.
To complete your renewal, you will need to:
- Reconfirm or update your Personal Details
- Reconfirm or update your Career Details
- Sign the Declaration
- Reconfirm the Good Character & Health statements
- Revalidate Direct Debit details
It is important to remember that maintaining registration demonstrates that you are ‘fit to practise’ and committed to protecting patients, healthcare staff and the general public. Registration requirements apply throughout the year and are not just a ‘tick box’ exercise at the time of initial application.
If you do not complete the renewal process by the renewal date, you will be removed from the public register. You will be notified by email if you have been removed from the Register.
As part of your commitment to registration, you are agreeing to keep records of your Continuing Professional Development activity during the past registration year and these activities can be audited by the AHCS. Please refer to the AHCS CPD Guide for further information.
It is useful to remind yourself of the standards you must adhere to throughout the year:
