We are aware of scams from the "Federation Of The Royal College Of Paediatrics and Child Health", which indicate there are shortcuts in getting M°µÍø½ûÇø (membership of °µÍø½ûÇø) 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:
- °µÍø½ûÇø will never promise a shortcut, or bypass, to M°µÍø½ûÇø or GMC registration. Anyone who claims they can is probably not reputable.
- °µÍø½ûÇø 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 °µÍø½ûÇø 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 °µÍø½ûÇø is not one of them.

Where to get your information about °µÍø½ûÇø exams:
- °µÍø½ûÇø is the only official information for our examinations, including FOP, TAS, AKP, M°µÍø½ûÇø Clinical and DCH Clinical. The sources includes this website and the °µÍø½ûÇø exams booking site.
- °µÍø½ûÇø does not sanction any non-°µÍø½ûÇø social media platforms.
- We advise you think carefully before you sign up to non-°µÍø½ûÇø mailing lists or following non-°µÍø½ûÇø social media that claim to be about °µÍø½ûÇø exams. This may put you at risk of being targeted by disreputable sources.
