Professional Registration Check – GMC
GMC: General Medical Council
Professional registration checks are essential and need to be continuously verified. At Credentially, we have an integrated system which checks a professional registration number daily against the GMC database.
There are two ways to enter your number into the system:
· During onboarding
OR
· In the 'Professional registration' tab
NOTE: Enter your PIN using uppercase letters instead of lowercase symbols. E.g. 99A9999A.
Once the correct PIN number is provided, Credentially will instantly check the registration against the GMC database and you will see the status 'REGISTERED' on your screen.
If the registration is found, there will be a green light and the 'compliant' status next to the name.
