If I am currently working under my signing consultant, what should my end date of supervising should be. The day it is getting signed or the day my post is expected to end?
Dr Raja many thanks for this informative video. I have a question about the consultant filling the form from back home if they have changed the hospital and moved somewhere else, which hospital stamp should they put in the form ? The hospital where we worked together or their current hospital ? Thanks a lot ❤
Hello, hope you are well. Really love your content sir. I have few doubts regarding the end date of my current post as I have to enter this in the training application as well as CREST form. It mentioned in the application, to write the end date as the day before the training commences, but when I try to look for the training commencement date, it is not confirmed yet. 1) What would be wise to put in the application as the end date of my current post? 2) Should I do the same in my CREST form if I'm getting it signed in my current post? (or shall I just put UP TO DATE?) 3) Does the duration after the application closing time count towards the mandatory one year experience after FY1 to apply for training post? (Eligibility criteria) I would be grateful if you could kindly answer my doubts. Thank you so much.
Training jobs start from the first wednesday of the Aug you can put the end date of the current post if your contract is ending on a particular date. 24 months rule is explained on the person specification of the training jobs

Dear Sir, I have a query regarding the CREST form verification process. My supervisor, a FCPS consultant, holds a government post with the title "Senior Registrar." His stamp includes: 1. Title: Senior Registrar 2. Name 3. PMDC Registration 4. Hospital Name and Address Although he functions as a consultant, his official post is Senior Registrar. Will his stamp be sufficient for signing my CREST form, or do I require an additional stamp from the hospital administration to authenticate his endorsement? Thank you for clarifying.
Hello sir, I have done my post in Jan 2023. And the consultant I have worked with then is signing my crest form. So can I mention the date of completion when he is signing it that is in 2024 or when my post was finished in 2023. Could you please help me with this query
How do we define a consultant? In india we have post like Professors, associate proffesor, assiant prof in medical college and in tertiary care hospital we just have specialist doctor working under no such named post.
Thank you Dr Adnan for such an informative and detailed video on this topic. I have a question. I have worked with a consultant in Pakistan and he is qualified from the USA. He later moved to the USA again and is currently working there. So in the Employer section, I will mention Pakistan’s hospital address where I worked under his supervision but in correspondence, he will mention the current USA address and email. Further, he will attach USA specialists’ register evidence. How do you see all this? Will that be accepted? Any suggestion?

Will the CREST FORM 2024 be used for the october-november application?
Sir, do the consultants have to submit the evidence from the SR through a letter or anything different ?
Do we need to provide evidence for quality improvement and teaching from home country?
Is the signature of the consultant is enough? Or it needs the signature & stamp both ?!
In the beginning of the form it asks for the Applicant GMC Number ..... Is it the registration number that we get after passing both the PLAB exams or the GMC reference number that we get on creating an account on the GMC website?

1. Title: Senior Registrar
2. Name
3. PMDC Registration
4. Hospital Name and Address
Although he functions as a consultant, his official post is Senior Registrar. Will his stamp be sufficient for signing my CREST form, or do I require an additional stamp from the hospital administration to authenticate his endorsement?
Thank you for clarifying.
You need written conformation that this senior is working as a consultant
I got my crest form but it is from July 1 to Sept 24 (day it was signed). Would it be rejected because it is not exactly 3 months??
Was it accepted?
Was it accepted ?
Does the principal applicant need to be registered in the regulatory body of their home country besides the consultant?
How else would you work under them for 3 months without registration? For the time you are filling out the form, you would need registration.
Hello sir,
I have done my post in Jan 2023. And the consultant I have worked with then is signing my crest form. So can I mention the date of completion when he is signing it that is in 2024 or when my post was finished in 2023. Could you please help me with this query
Hello dr can we complete the crest form if i have only done fy2 for 11 months back home?
Thanks Sir..
If my Consultant personally withess all the competencies stated, what will be filled in page 5 as there may be no need for it.
You can leave that empty in that case

A Consultant is a senior doctor working with post grad qualifications working independently as an expert.

Can someone already in training abroad apply to training through MSRA in the Uk?
@@akpevweakinyemi yes they can
Sir I was told that you should put institutional email of your professor.
Like .edu which my university doesn't have.
Also who can sign this from home country ?
1) Senior resident
2) Assistant professor
3) Head of department
And do they need to belong to any specific department?
Only a consultant-level person can sign the form.
The official email address of the institution is not essential.
