Application for recertification of FSRH Registered Trainer - GP Trainer

Update about recertification during the COVID-19 Situation

If you are due to recertify your Diploma, LoC, MFSRH, or FFSRH qualifications or FRT status this month or during the coming months, we realise that it may be difficult for you to meet all the recertification criteria due to the COVID-19 situation. To support you we have automatically given all our members an extra year to recertify, wherever they are in the recertification cycle.

For example, if you are not due to recertify until the end of February 2023, you will now have until the end of February 2024 to recertify. Anyone who is due for recertification this year will therefore also receive an extra year.

This process will happen automatically but if you are ready to recertify now you will still be able to do this in the usual way by completing the form below.

Application for recertification of FSRH Registered Trainer (FRT) status for NHS Education local Deanery approved GP Trainers (not holding the Keele University/FSRH Postgraduate Course in Medical Education (SRH) or LoC MEd)

FRTs who came through the Deanery approved GP Trainer route

The General Training Committee recognises that current GP Trainers (as approved under the NHS GP training framework across the UK) undertake ongoing medical education as part of the requirements to maintain their skills and knowledge as GP Trainers. To reflect the need to show competence in specific FSRH training qualifications, FRTs who are approved GP Trainers and do not possess the Keele University/FSRH Postgraduate Course in Medical Education (SRH) or LoC MEd will be required to recertify as FRTs using a modified form of the requirements for non-GP Trainers.

Recertification for a GP Trainer who also holds the LoC MEd or Keele University/FSRH Postgraduate Course in Medical Education (SRH)

GP Trainers who possess a Keele University/FSRH Postgraduate Course in Medical Education (SRH) or LoC MEd should recertify using the form for trainers holding the Keele University/FSRH Postgraduate Course in Medical Education (SRH) or LoC MEd. FRT status achieved through the LoC MEd or Keele University/FSRH Postgraduate Course in Medical Education (SRH) route cannot be recertified once it has lapsed. Should a GP trainer cease to hold the GP Trainer status, they would lose their FRT status unless they also hold FRT status through the recertified LoC MEd or the Keele University/FSRH Postgraduate Course in Medical Education (SRH) route.

Recertification requirements

Hold a current license to practice and hold trainer approved status from GMC/NMC.
Each yearly subscription paid when due.
Recertification of DFSRH/MFSRH/FFSRH.
50 credits in core SRH (in this total you may count the credits used to recertify your FFSRH/MFSRH/FSRH Diploma qualification).

Please list below a record of your learning and activity in core SRH to the value of 50 CPD credits over the previous 5-year period. In the light of GMC requirements that GP Trainers, as Approved Educational Supervisors, are required to maintain their medical education and teaching experience, no further evidence of this is required.
