60. January 2023 ORE Part 2 Booking Opening
Earlier this year, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) consulted on its proposed changes to the legislation, and on Monday 28 November 2022 they published the outcome of that consultation, which you can read on their website. Although the timeline for the changes coming into force remains unclear, we can confirm that a sitting of the Part 2 will take place in January 2023 (to be held 26 – 29 January 2023).
The booking for the ORE Part 2 January 2023 examination will open on Thursday 15 December 2022 at 14:30. We can confirm that there are 110 available places. Candidates eligible for a priority place will be contacted directly by the Exams Team on 1 December 2022.
We would like to remind candidates that all bookings must be made through eGDC, and we ask that you check that candidates have log-in details for their eGDC account and that they can log in before the booking day.
Why we prioritise some candidates for exam places and what this means for you now
The legislation that governs the ORE includes a strict requirement that the Part 2 exam must be passed within five years of first attempting the Part 1. To ensure candidates have a fair opportunity to sit the exams before this expires, we prioritise those in their final year of the time limit.
