Paragraph 17 Restoration of an annotation made to an entry in the RegisterI1
England, Wales and Scotland
Subject to the following paragraphs, applicants for the restoration of an annotation in respect of a specialisation made to an entry in Part 1 or, as the case may be, Part 2 of the Register may apply to the Registrar.
An application under this rule must be made to the Registrar using the relevant application form, which must be in such form as the Council may from time to time determine, before the end of the period of twelve months beginning with—
the date on which the annotation in respect of a specialisation made to the entry was removed from the relevant part of the Register pursuant to an application for voluntary removal under rule 14; or
the date on which the entry in the relevant part of the Register to which the annotation relates was removed from that part of the Register under or by virtue of a provision specified in article 37(1)(a) to (g) of the Order.
The application form must, in particular—
require the applicant to—
specify—
the applicant’s full name, home address and contact details (including a telephone number and electronic mail address, where possible),
whether, if an annotation in respect of a specialisation were to be restored to the applicant’s entry, there would be in force an indemnity arrangement which provides appropriate cover in relation to the applicant,
the part of the Register to which the application relates, and
the number of the entry in the Register to which the application relates, and
provide any other necessary supporting documents, information or evidence as mentioned in the application form;
include a demand that the applicant pay the prescribed fee in respect of the application; and
require the applicant to sign and date the application.
The applicant must also provide such additional documents, information or evidence as the Registrar may reasonably require for the purposes of verifying the information in, or determining, the application.
The Registrar must consider—
whether the applicant should be required to undertake any additional education, training or experience before the annotation made to the applicant’s entry is restored to the Register; and
whether the applicant should be required to undertake any additional continuing professional development after the annotation made to the applicant’s entry is restored to the Register,
and, where necessary, the Registrar may determine the additional education, training or experience or additional continuing professional development that it is appropriate for the applicant to undertake in the circumstances of the applicant’s case.
The Registrar may grant an application under this rule subject to the condition that the applicant agrees to comply with such undertakings with regard to continuing professional development as the Registrar considers appropriate in the circumstances of the applicant’s case.
The Registrar may refuse any application under this rule which is not accompanied by the necessary supporting documents, information or evidence as mentioned in the application form or otherwise required by the Registrar.
The Registrar must refuse an application under this rule—
if it is not received by the Registrar within the time limit specified in paragraph (2);
if an annotation to the applicant’s entry in Part 1 or, as the case may be, Part 2 of the Register was removed from the relevant part of Register because of a failure to provide any document, information or evidence and that document, information or evidence is not included in the application; or
if A has not paid, or has not made arrangements with the Registrar to pay by direct debit, the prescribed fee in respect of the application.
