How much does restoration cost?
Do I need to send any evidence of continuing professional development (CPD)?
To
restore to the register, you must submit a completed CPD
record, along with any necessary documentary evidence and complete the CPD
declaration in the application form.
The record must contain details of all CPD undertaken in the shorter of the
following periods:
• Period between the start of your current 5-year CPD cycle and date of your restoration application; or
• the five years preceding the date of your restoration application; or
• period between the date of first registration and the date of your restoration application.
The
total number of hours will depend on when you apply for restoration. Your CPD
hours will be based on a pro-rata calculation of your 5-year CPD cycle.
Details are included in your application form
and you can also refer to this Enhanced CPD guidance for professionals
for more information.

How long will restoration take?
We endeavour to assess your application to be restored to the register within 15 working days from the date we receive it. However this timeframe can increase during peak processing times in January/February and August/September, and delays can also occur if the form is not completed correctly, necessary supporting evidence has not been supplied, and/or if there are any concerns raised within your application which will require us to assess it further before we can register you.
