Fitness to practise

In this section of the form you are asked to state whether you have any unspent and spent convictions, investigations and/or warnings regarding your fitness to practise.

If you answer “Yes” you will also need to later share the details of this with your allocated foundation school and employer. Please use the “Fitness to practise declaration form” which can be downloaded from the Oriel resource bank and email the complete form to your allocated foundation school and employer. You must also provide details of this on your STEP form (see information about the STEP process on the STEP pages).

The GMC has provided guidance that states that you do not have to declare any road traffic offences where you have accepted the option of paying a fixed penalty notice. All other fixed penalty notices must be declared.
