As I understand it, from various LA events and meetings recently, those
registered before the amalgamation will have the choice of submitting under
the existing regulations, or the new ones when in place. Also, from a talk
at the LA members day, I think the new regulation will be based more on the
portfolio method, ie keeping an up to date professional development
portfolio, although that is just my assumption.
