Restoration to the Register

‘Restoration of title’, or ‘restoration’, refers to the process of rejoining the Register after you have been removed following a fitness to practise case.

This process applies if you have received a Strike Off Order (‘been struck off’) or entered into a Voluntary Removal Agreement as part of a fitness to practise proceeding against you. 

The restoration process also applies if you have been struck off the Register but wish to join it as member of a different profession.

You can only make one restoration application every 12 months. After two unsuccessful applications, the Panel may issue a direction preventing you from applying again.

To apply for restoration, there are certain requirements you must meet. The HCPC website contains information about restoration requirements and how to apply.

Information on how these decisions are made by the Panels at restoration hearings is in the Practice Note - Restoration.
