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 new 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 GP/Specialist Register
- any publicly available fitness to practise history since 20 October 2005
GP register
Another new feature of our service is that you can check whether your doctor is eligible to practise as a GP.

Checking historical records of the Medical Register
The Medical Register was published in book form, between 1859 and 2004. In order 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).
