What PCS information will the Medical Council ask me for? 

When you are completing your annual retention of registration form this year, the Medical Council will ask you to confirm the following:

  1. That you are enrolled on a Professional Competence Scheme (PCS) for 2023 2024 and the date that you paid your enrolment fee (View instructions on how to view this date)
  2. That you have achieved the minimum CPD requirements for the 2022 2023 PCS year

All Postgraduate Medical Training Bodies will be required to forward the Medical Council Registration Number (MCRN) and name of all registered medical practitioners who have not met their annual PCS requirements for the 2021 2022 PCS year to the Medical Council.

Please be aware that a false declaration on your retention of registration form could leave you open to a complaint by the Medical Council.

What do I need to do?

Please ensure that you have recorded all your CPD activity to your ePortfolio before the 30th of April 2023. All doctors registered on the Specialist or General Division of the Medical Council for the duration of the 2022 2023 year will be expected to record the minimum requirements of 25 CPD credits and 1 clinical/practice audit. Where you have been on maternity, sick or compassionate leave from active practice for three months or more, please let us know by sending an email to professionalcompetence@icgp.ie and we will note this on your record for you.
