We are aware of scams from the "Federation Of The Royal College Of Paediatrics and Child Health", which indicate there are shortcuts in getting M¹ú²ú×ÔÅÄ (membership of ¹ú²ú×ÔÅÄ) and General Medical Council registration. Don't fall for them! We explain how to spot a scam.
These scam emails often reference the COVID-19 pandemic. They may ask for payment (a fee). They 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:
- ¹ú²ú×ÔÅÄ will never promise a shortcut, or bypass, to M¹ú²ú×ÔÅÄ or GMC registration. Anyone who claims they can is probably not reputable.
- ¹ú²ú×ÔÅÄ 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 ¹ú²ú×ÔÅÄ 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 ¹ú²ú×ÔÅÄ is not one of them.
If you are not sure whether your email is a scam, contact us:
- If about a theory exam (FOP, TAS or AKP), email theoryexams@rcpch.ac.uk
- If about M¹ú²ú×ÔÅÄ Clinical or DCH Clinical, email clinicalexams@rcpch.ac.uk
Where to get your information about ¹ú²ú×ÔÅÄ exams:
- ¹ú²ú×ÔÅÄ is the only official information for our examinations, including FOP, TAS, AKP, M¹ú²ú×ÔÅÄ Clinical and DCH Clinical. The sources includes this website and the ¹ú²ú×ÔÅÄ exams booking site.
- ¹ú²ú×ÔÅÄ does not sanction any non-¹ú²ú×ÔÅÄ social media platforms. Ours include on X (formerly Twitter), and .
- We advise you think carefully before you sign up to non-¹ú²ú×ÔÅÄ mailing lists or following non-¹ú²ú×ÔÅÄ social media that claim to be about ¹ú²ú×ÔÅÄ exams. This may put you at risk of being targeted by disreputable sources.
