Watch out for scams about Âé¶¹´«Ã½ exams and GMC specialist registration

We are aware of scams from the "Federation Of The Royal College Of Paediatrics and Child Health", which indicate there are shortcuts in getting MÂé¶¹´«Ã½ (membership of Âé¶¹´«Ã½) and General Medical Council registration. Don't fall for them! We explain how to spot a scam.

These scam emails may ask for payment (a fee) and may invite you to click on a link to a private telegram contact address.

These emails are fake.

Some pointers to help you spot a scam:

  • Âé¶¹´«Ã½ will never promise a shortcut, or bypass, to MÂé¶¹´«Ã½ or GMC registration. Anyone who claims they can is probably not reputable.
  • Âé¶¹´«Ã½ will never invite you to contact a telegram contact address. All our email addresses use @rcpch.ac.uk. so be wary of anything claiming to be from Âé¶¹´«Ã½ without that email address.
  • There is no such thing as the Federation of the Royal College of Paediatrics of Child Health. This might sound plausible, because other royal colleges are federated. But, the Âé¶¹´«Ã½ is not one of them.

Where to get your information about Âé¶¹´«Ã½ exams:

  • Âé¶¹´«Ã½ is the only official information for our examinations, including FOP, TAS, AKP, MÂé¶¹´«Ã½ Clinical and DCH Clinical. The sources includes this website and the Âé¶¹´«Ã½ exams booking site.
  • Âé¶¹´«Ã½ does not sanction any non-Âé¶¹´«Ã½ social media platforms.
  • We advise you think carefully before you sign up to non-Âé¶¹´«Ã½ mailing lists or following non-Âé¶¹´«Ã½ social media that claim to be about Âé¶¹´«Ã½ exams. This may put you at risk of being targeted by disreputable sources.
