Registration information for multipractitioners

Setting up multiple GMC online accounts

If you have a GMC Online account for one profession and you have set up an account for another profession, you’ll need to call us on 0161 923 6602 (or +44 161 923 6602 if you’re calling from outside the UK).

This could be, for example, if you already have GMC Online account as a doctor. But you need to add an account because you are also a physician associate (PA) or anaesthesia associate (AA). 

For security, our system will temporarily lock your accounts if it detects a duplicate with the same name and date of birth. We will need to remove this block and link the accounts for you.

When you call us, you’ll need to provide:

• proof that you are the same person
• evidence of your primary medical qualification 
• evidence of your PA or AA qualification
• a different email address for your new account.

Find our more about the registration process for each profession. 

Separate GMC reference numbers and fees

We’ll give you a separate GMC reference number for each role that you hold. And you’ll need to use a different email address for each GMC Online account.

Find out more about: 

• doctors’ GMC reference numbers
• PA and AA GMC reference numbers.

You will also need to pay a fee for each registration.

Managing changes to your accounts

If you want to update your details, such as your address, contact information or name, there are different processes for each profession. Please see our guidance on: 

• maintaining your registration as a PA or AA
• maintaining your registration as a doctor.

Voluntary removal

If you want to remove yourself from one of our registers, there are different processes for each profession. Please see our guidance on changing your status on our registers.
