On late diagnosis of a condition that requires reasonable adjustments, all previous attempts at an examination component taken prior to the diagnosis may be discounted or additional attempts added.
Candidates should make a request by emailing exams@rcoa.ac.uk(FRCA) or facultyexams@rcoa.ac.uk (FFICM/ FFPMRCA) with the date of their diagnosis and record of examination history, including any relevant extenuating circumstances.
The request will be sent to the relevant examination committee to review at their next sitting. The submission will include the candidate's exam history, date of diagnosis, and the report from an approved assessor submitted at the last sitting of the exam. Candidates will be informed of the outcome soon after the committee has sat.
