Working hours

You should always talk to the GDC about this sort of thing. Getting it wrong because someone you don't know on a forum told you could cost you big time. And as Janus says, they're really helpful

I called them as I wasnt working at the time and they said that I still had to register and just continue my CPD even if I wasnt working. I dont think that there is a minimal amount of hours as I know some nurses who only work 10 hours a week who have young children.

Just call them they will be able to advise you properly

Why not phone the GDC and get a difinitive answer. I suspect though it is as Janus says. The GDC are very friendly and helpful when you ring

So, you are saying that if I work less than 16 Hrs per week, I do not qualify as registered with GDC ?

Minimum number of hours is 16

Thank you for your help. That is a relief.

I don't think there is a minimum hour in order to retain your registration. As long as you do all the CPD that you're required to in the 5 year cycle and pay your registration every year you can still be registered with the GDC. If you didn't register with the GDC one year you would need to demonstrate that you've still kept up your CPD to register the next.
I have a colleague who is officially retired,but still comes in every now and again and works the odd session if we need extra cover.

HI

I am reducing my hours at work and wondered if anyone knows what the minimum number of nursing hours are to retain your registration. I can't find the info on the GDC or anywhere.

Thanks for your help.
