To change any of your referees, you must log-in to your profile before the closing date to edit your references. Once your referee has submitted a reference, this cannot be deleted or changed.

If you are re-applying, ACE will automatically reuse your previous referee reports. You can only request the deletion of a reference if it was not completed by a referee who supervised your final placement. The new referee must have supervised you during your transition to practice (final) placement.
