can use this service if you are registered with a GP surgery in England?

No, registration with a GP surgery in England is not a requirement to enrol on the Care Manager Diploma – Fast Track Level 5 Health and Social Care Management (8 Months). This is an educational qualification, not a clinical or medical service. You do not need a referral from a general practitioner, nor do you need to be a patient on any medical register. The course is open to current deputy managers, team leaders, and senior carers across the UK and internationally who wish to progress into a registered manager role. Your eligibility depends on your professional experience and commitment to completing the assignments, not your healthcare status. We welcome learners from all backgrounds within adult social care, including domiciliary and residential settings. Whether you are in England, Scotland, Wales, or abroad, your GP registration is irrelevant to your admission. Focus instead on ensuring you have the necessary professional experience to meet the entry criteria and can dedicate time to the eight-month fast-track schedule.
