How to use this checklist
Treat your first month as a short clinical project: clear sequence, named owners (you/HR/PRO), and artefacts (PDFs with passport-exact names). Print, tick, move on.

Document hygiene

Insurance policy lists settings (hospital/clinic/home/hotel/yacht).
Malpractice start date ≥ first privileged shift.
Common pitfalls—and calm fixes
Name mismatches (missing middle names) → fix at issuer before portal uploads.
Translating before legalising → redo translation after legalisation.
Offer title ≠ licence category → amend before privileging.
Assuming domiciliary cover → add rider to insurance and privilege list first.
Travel mid-process → confirm re-entry rules with PRO before leaving.
