You can submit your Performer List application without the DBS certificate; however, you MUST provide evidence that you have applied for an Enhanced DBS certificate. This is usually the DBS tracking number.

GP Registrars are asked to submit their application no earlier than 6 months prior to Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) and no later than 3 months prior to CCT. When you are ready to apply, you must also select GP Registrar and not GP Performer. This applies no matter how close you are to CCT. You will be able to change your status to GP Performer after CCT.

Please note that as soon as you have been awarded your CCT, you must be included on the England Medical Performers List in order to work in primary care.  It is therefore in your interest to ensure that you apply in sufficient time (as noted above) to avoid any delay in being able to work after CCT.

If you have been resident, studied, worked or been abroad for 3 months or more in the last 5 years, then you will be required to provide a Police Check with your application for each country you have been resident in. You can find a list of countries and how to apply for a certificate by clicking here. 

PCSE cannot accept your application without a police check if you meet the above criteria, please ensure you obtain this document before submitting your application. 

Where you are required to upload supporting documentation via PCSE Online you will be prompted to upload the document. 

Click on ‘Browse’ to search for the document you wish to upload.  Navigate to the relevant document and once you have found the document double click.  Click the upload icon to the right hand side to upload the file to PCSE Online.  A green ‘File Successfully Uploaded’ box will drop down from the top right hand corner to confirm the file has been uploaded.

All new applicants to the Dental Performers List must include with their application an occupational health certificate from a Safe, Effective, Quality Occupational Health Service (SEQOHS) accredited provider or an NHS occupational provider.

Acceptable providers of occupational health certificates can be found on the following website: https://www.seqohs.org/Accreditedunits.aspx 

Applicants from Scotland and Wales must also ensure that their occupational health certificates comply with these requirements.

This should be a copy of your current Passport, or where you do not have a passport an acceptable form of photographic ID  as defined on the Disclosure and Barring Service website (eg current Driving Licence Photocard [full or provisional] – UK, Isle of Man, Channel Islands or EU).
