Hi,
In my final year of medical school in the UK. Although there are aspects of medicine that appeal to me overall I don't think that I enjoy these enough to make up for the stress and bureaucracy of the job. I am thinking of pursuing a second undergraduate degree in something entirely different. Just wondering whether anyone knows what happens once your provisional GMC registration runs out after 3 years? Does this mean you are unable to practice medicine ever again or are you able to return after sitting exams again? Thanks very much for any advice, haven't made up my mind yet and this is quite an important factor

I think it'd be similar to this:
If I choose to give up my registration, can I get it back in the future?
Yes. You will need to apply for restoration. You can choose whether to restore with or without a licence to practise. You can find out more on our restoration guide.

I would strongly suggest you have come this far, do F1 get a full licence before you give up.

The provisional licence is different to the full licence. It has a time limit! If you relinquish your registration you can choose to restart it. However, it lasts for only 3 years and 30 days as a provisional licence, and if you dont ‘stop the clock’ and it runs out of time, that’s it, youre done.

it is a bit of a killer change the gmc added a number of years ago to the provisional licence, and there are a few ‘near misses’ with provisional licences every year...
