We make sure that every doctor, PA and AA has the right knowledge, skills, qualifications and experience to work across the UK. We do this by maintaining official lists of these registered professionals.
When a doctor, PA or AA applies to register, we check they meet our requirements to work in the UK and deliver good, safe patient care.
To remain in practice doctors, PAs and AAs must continue to meet the professional standards we set, show that they are competent and show that they keep their knowledge and skills up to date.
Find out what is on our registers and the different types of registration available to doctors, PAs and AAs in our guide to our registers.
If you're an employer, you can read our guide to employing a doctor and our guide to employing a PA or AA.
