Fully Qualified GP
There are fourteen Health Boards in Scotland, and you should apply to the board, where you intend to undertake the majority of your work for appraisal/revalidation purposes.
Right to work check
You’ll need to prove your right to work in the UK to allow you to provide general medical services within Scotland.
Prove your right to work to an employer: get a share code – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
The share code should be generated and sent along with your Performers List application.
Share Codes/ Sponsorship/Visas
Visa and immigration rules changed in 2022. In the past, workers on Tier 2 visas could work only for the sponsoring employer. Following the rule changes, skilled workers are now entitled to work either unlimited hours with their sponsoring employer, or to work up to 20 additional hours with another employer (or for the worker’s own business) as long as the worker is still being sponsored for the original job.
In addition to the sponsored job, a skilled worker GP could now work:
- for another independent GP practice in the same Board area;
- for a Board-run (2C) practice in the same Board area;
- for a Board’s OOH service in the same area; or
- for all of the variants above but in a different Board area, or perhaps in multiple Board areas.
The responsibility of any individual employer is only to monitor the hours done by the employee if they have employed the GP as a Partner or a Salaried and to report any breaches of the Regulations
The GP has personal obligations to ensure that they do not exceed the 20-hour limit.
