PRACTICAL WORKBOOK 01 | CHAPTERS 1-2
UK Entry and GMC Registration Planner
Coordinate registration, employment, immigration and household decisions without treating any one approval as a guarantee of the others.
How to use it
Use one section at a time alongside the relevant online chapter and the current official source. Write only what is needed for your decision, then add an owner and review date to every unresolved action.
Confidentiality and limits
Do not enter patient-identifiable information, private colleague information, passwords, passport numbers or documents you are not authorised to share. This workbook is independent educational guidance, not individual immigration, employment, legal, regulatory, tax, pension or clinical advice.
A controlled working method
Separate verified facts from assumptions. Date every figure or rule copied from a live source. Keep the exact advert, policy, contract or form on which a decision depends. When circumstances are complex, use the worksheet to prepare questions for an appropriately qualified adviser rather than trying to make the workbook provide the advice.
Fact: supported by a current document or a named person with authority.
Assumption: plausible but not yet verified; record the check required.
Decision: state who owns it, the evidence considered and the review date.
Action: name the person responsible and a realistic deadline.
Reflection: keep it proportionate, factual and confidential.
