NATIONAL INSURANCE NUMBER Before you can begin in paid employment in the UK, you must have a National Insurance number to ensure you make National Insurance contributions. Please visit http://www.dwp.gov.uk/directgov/ for guidance on how to obtain a National Insurance number. The London Deanery and the PCT will need your National Insurance number to pay your salary and to process your GP Returner grant. PAY Due to the fact of limited funding and that the Induction and Refresher Scheme is part of your continuing professional development, there is a fixed sum of £50.00 given for each clinical session on the scheme. The education sessions are not funded. The funds are sent on a monthly basis via the PCTs to the practices for payment to individual I&R doctors. Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) All doctors must have a CRB check BEFORE starting in post and this is done by the PCT. This is the GP’s responsibility to ensure the appropriate paperwork is given to the PCT. This CRB check takes approx two months for the PCT to receive clearance so that you can work with patients. MEDICAL INDEMNITY INSURANCE COVER All GPs must have full medical insurance cover before a surgery can employ them. Your local PCT will be able to provide information on where you can obtain this. For more information on the Medical Protection Society please visit www.mps.org.uk/ or call 08457 187187 For more information on the Medical Defense Union please visit www.the-mdu.com or call 0800 716 376 Occupational Health A confidential health questionnaire needs to be completed; the London Deanery will have provided you with this. The Occupational Health Department at Imperial College does this on behalf of the London Deanery. Doctors will have to show evidence of Hepatitis B immunisation status. It may be necessary for you to have vaccine updates.

Applied Knowledge Test (AKT) The AKT is the ‘Exit’ MCQ. The Instructions for candidates taking the AKT as a requirement of the I&R Scheme Exit Assessment: • GP returners sit the same test form as trainee candidates. • You should apply online via the Royal College of General Practitioners’ website in the same way as nMRCGP candidates (https://integra.rcgp.org.uk/membersarea/multievents/layout4.asp ) • Once you have accessed the above web link and when answering the ‘What stage are you at in training?’ question box, you should tick ‘GP returner’ (rather than ST1, 2 or 3 etc). • A fee is payable to the Royal College of General Practitioners • Should you require any help and advice please contact: Examinations Department Royal College of General Practitioners 14 Princes Gate Hyde Park London SW7 1PU Tel: 020 3188 7620 E-mail: exams@rcgp.org.uk Performers List PCT Responsibilities The doctors must be on the Performers List of the relevant Primary Care Trust. This is a requirement of all doctors working in general practice. A period of 3 months is needed by the PCT in order to get GPs on to the Performer’s List and do the required checks. It is the GP’s responsibility to contact the PCT to initiate the paperwork. Pay Deaneries are not permitted to get involved with individual pay negotiations and it is up to the PCT to set the salary; our remit extends to educational provision. The PCT reimburses the practice: • the agreed salary negotiated between the PCT and doctor • the I&R Clinical Supervisor’s grant* *The I&R clinical supervisor is paid a Grant in order to provide the appropriate training during the induction period.
