List of Registered Medical Practitioners

This page provides information about the List of Registered Medical Practitioners – a list of all doctors who are registered to practise in the UK.

This service replaces the GMC's Online Doctor Search.

You can use the List of Registered Medical Practitioners to check details of all the doctors on the GMC's register.

It gives details of:

  • the doctor's reference number, name, any former name, gender
  • year and place of primary medical degree
  • registration status
  • date of registration
  • entry in the GP/Specialist Register
  • any publicly available fitness to practise history since 20 October 2005

List of Registered Medical Practitioners Download Service

The entire List of Registered Medical Practitioners is also available to download on a subscription basis. This service is primarily aimed at database developers. Further information is available in our LRMP subscription service user guide and order form(392kb, pdf documentpdf).

Checking historical records of the Medical Register

The Medical Register was published in book form, between 1859 and 2004. To preserve our historical copies of the Medical Register, we are undertaking some essential repair and restoration work on them. As a result they are currently unavailable for family history research. If you wish to consult a copy of the Register, most large public libraries hold copies of it. Alternatively you can contact one on our List of copyright libraries (35kb, pdf).
