The doctor has indicated that although his/her PC has expired, he/she has submitted a renewal application to SMC and provided the corresponding acknowledgement email from SMC. Can the doctor be permitted to commence work?

Question

Accepted Answer

No. A pending renewal application does not authorise a doctor to practise. The doctor must not commence or continue work until their renewed PC is reflected in the SMC Register.
