I was deployed October and here in the UK right now. 3 of my batch mates uploaded police clearance and was told to submit NBI instead. It's a hassle if you're here and then request for an NBI, you mind. :)

congrats fissure

please email me [email protected] some pointers

I believe you'll have that test if found positive in Xray and sputum exam done in IOM. You'll undergo treatment.

Congrats shulace...

You can contact the iom thru email,phone call or text msgng.

However, some people found it difficult to call the iom, their line's always busy...better to email them, they will answer your queries and book your prefered date within less than an hour.

Unfortunately, i heard there were applicants who successfully booked their schedules and went to the iom yet they weren't catered. The guard didn't allow them to enter the clinic and didn't receive priority numbers because their names weren't on the list. So, it's better to print and secure a copy of the email replies and the approved bookings, to be shown to the security guard/staff in case your approved bookings won't reflect on the applicants list.

I also experienced that. My name was not on their list, however, i told the guard that they called me and i showed him the text confirmation from the IOM. I was able to do my Xray exam on that day. Btw, Have you receive your DL?:)

Hi guys! So i have been reading recent posts here about resubmissions and queries on filling out forms and sending them to NMC.. and I wanna help out. I know it's stressful to wait so long for the DL but you will all get yours soon, for sure.

Not to brag, I never had problems during my assessment stage. I entered the queue on Dec 29 and received my DL on feb 7. So for everyone who are just about to send their documents, allow me to help you out with the tips I got from a friend who's in UK now. Thanks to her. I hope this helps.

1. Form to Accompany TOR

The name of the school should match your diploma and the online form. In my case, my school changed its name some years after I graduated, so here's what I did: for the online form, I followed what's on my Diploma; For the barcoded form, I let the school decide, they placed the new name given that my TOR has a "former" name on it.

section 3 of this form

Check the DATE TRAINING COURSE COMMENCED and COMPLETED before your school registrar seals the envelope (before sending to NMC). What they've answered here should match your answer on the online form.

Training hours should match the NMC requirements.

Don't forget the school stamp.

2. PRC form

No tips here, the PRC knows everything about the form, except for remembering your tracking number. They'll send it directly to NMC. Keep checking if they actually sent it, and ask them the name who received the envelope. This way, you can always ring NMC and give those info if your documents are not uploaded as expected. I thought mine got lost because it took them more than 3 weeks to scan it while my other documents were reflected on the portal as received only 10 days after being received. Same tip for all the envelopes you will send.

3. Reference Forms

Page 1: all info pertains to hospital

Page 2: all info pertains to the referee

Safe answer for the dates (what I did) if you have only 1 employer but were assigned to different wards.. just put the date you started working there and CURRENT if still employed.. same goes with the online form but for the end date I put the date the bar coded forms were accomplished by the referee.

Don't forget the stamp of employer/hospital.. meaning dryseal not trodat. Hospitals don't have trodats. Also, not the trodat of the referee although the referee should sign on the space provided, just above the stamp/dry seal box.

4. declaration of good health

Page 1: all info pertains to the doctor

Stamp of the doctor meaning TRODAT not the dryseal of the hospital where the doctor works. If your doctor doesn't have a trodat, He should provide a letterheaded paper... the doctor should write there that NO STAMP EXISTS then sign it.

The form says this should be accomplished by a medical doctor where you are currently employed, in my case, I went to a doctor not affiliated to the hospital where I am currently working. Why? i have read previous posts here from people who did what was exactly said on the form but they were asked to resubmit a new one. So to avoid the hassle, just find a physician outside your working network.

General tips (for all forms)

For the dates, follow the format DD/MM/YY Double check them before sending your documents to NMC.

Always compare the info on your bar coded forms to the online form before hitting the submit button. They should coincide. All your documents should be cohesive.

Do not hit SUBMIT without doing a final check. Once you click that button, there's no turning back, you can't edit your data unless you call NMC to reopen it.

You can place the declaration of good health, references and form to accompany TOR( from school) in one envelope.

In my case, my couriers were.. DHL express for PRC docs and for the rest (in one envelope) FEDEX via 2GO.

Once your documents are received by NMC.. it will take 2-3 weeks before it gets scanned. So don't call NMC because you'll just get the same answer. Bug them if 3 weeks have passed and your portal doesnt say RECEIVED. It's the best time to start calling them daily hahaha

The moment all your documents are reflected on your portal (meaning they were scanned already.. you will not see your actual documents but you will see a DOCUMENT RECEIVED table on your portal) that's the same date you entered the queue, but to be sure, give NMC a ring. Go to nmc portal, click MY APPLICATION, click OPEN to view the table (summary of documents.. or resubmission info)

NMC will email you if they need more from you. I used to wonder if not receiving an email is something to be celebrated or worried about. I thought nothing's happening because every time i check my portal there's literally nothing new. But I realized, there's really 4 exams and this part is the third... it's the TEST OF PATIENCE. So just keep your faith up while waiting. I know it's stressful and you all want to get your DLs soon. It will come, at the right moment.

Im praying for all of you. Mamay we all pass the OSCE and get our pins.

If you have doubts, or anything you wanna sort out... call NMC. They are best to allay your worries and answer your queries.

You can email them too.

Before calling or sending an email, be sure you have your candidate id with you.

Good luck guys!

Additional:

just follow the instructions and comply. give what they ask for. be sure about everything.

do not complicate your documents. the more complex it becomes, the longer you will wait.
