What if I don’t agree with the outcome of my application? Can I contest GTC Scotland’s decision?

If GTC Scotland has awarded you registration but not to the extent you wished (e.g. you have not been awarded full registration or you have not been awarded registration in all of the categories that you believe you are eligible to be registered in) you have the right to ask for that decision to be reviewed by a Registration Panel. You must do this within 28 days of the date that you receive your decision letter from the Registration department.

If you have been refused registration, you have the right to appeal to the Court of Session. You must do this within 28 days of the date that you receive your decision letter from the GTC Scotland Registration department. Information about this will be included in your decision email.
