Clinicians Validation & Credential Checks

Last updated: May 2025

Ensuring Trust, Safety & Professional Integrity Across Our Global Marketplace

This page outlines the credentialing and verification measures CliniciansCheck applies to every healthcare professional and organisation listed on our platform.

At CliniciansCheck, patient safety and clinical accountability are non-negotiable. We implement robust multi-layered checks across every clinician and organisation listed on our platform. Our validation framework aligns with global healthcare standards, regulatory requirements, and procurement expectations of health systems, insurers, and enterprise clients.

We do not take shortcuts — and neither should you.

Our multi-layered clinician validation system ensures every professional listed on CliniciansCheck meets local regulatory standards, is legally entitled to practise, and is clinically safe. This protects patients, providers, and partners across the globe.

Categories of Professionals We Validate
We assess and verify multiple types of healthcare professionals and entities:

• GMC-Registered Doctors (UK & International)
• Non-GMC Medical Professionals (e.g., international doctors, UAE/Middle East physicians)
• Non-Doctor Clinicians (psychologists, therapists, nurses, pharmacists, nutritionists, etc.)
• Allied & Holistic Health Professionals (where lawful and permitted)
• Health Clinics, Hospitals, and Service Organisations

What We Check
Our validation protocol includes the following areas, tailored to the clinician’s profession, region of practice, and level of risk. Every element is reviewed by our compliance team prior to approval.

1. Professional Registration & Licensure
Verification with national/international professional bodies (e.g., GMC, HCPC, NMC, GPhC, AHPRA, DHA)

Cross-checks against suspension lists, expired licences, or conditions of practice

2. Qualifications & Training
Primary medical or clinical degrees

Postgraduate and specialist qualifications

CPD (Continuing Professional Development) compliance where applicable

3. Employment & Work History
Professional experience mapped and verified

Declarations of gaps, terminations, or changes in scope of practice

4. Disciplinary, Sanctions, and Fitness to Practise
Screening for:

Past or ongoing investigations

Regulatory warnings or restrictions

Malpractice, insurance, or tribunal disclosures

5. ID & Legal Right to Work
Proof of identity (passport, national ID, residency permit)

Visa and right to practice in the declared region

6. Insurance & Indemnity
Professional indemnity / malpractice insurance validation for all clinicians where applicable
7. Organisation-Level Checks (Clinics, Hospitals, Health Groups)
Corporate registration

Clinical governance and licensing status

Medical director or responsible person declaration

CQC, DHA, MOH, or jurisdictional approval (where regulated)

How We Process & Manage Validations
All documents are reviewed by our internal compliance team

Where required, we request video verification, signed declarations, or additional disclosure

Validation records are securely stored, auditable, and periodically reviewed

Any red flags result in temporary suspension or listing rejection pending resolution

Ongoing Monitoring & Revalidation
Clinician status is not "set and forget." Our platform maintains continuous oversight through:

Expiry tracking for licences and insurance

Randomised audits and file reviews

Real-time reporting of concerns by patients or partners

Data refresh cycles with regulators and governing bodies

Revalidation timelines vary by jurisdiction, risk category, and clinical role — typically every 12 to 24 months unless otherwise mandated.

Legal Safeguards & Disclaimers
CliniciansCheck is not a regulatory body. We do not override decisions made by national or professional regulators.

Listings are only approved once minimum standards have been verified.

We reserve the right to remove or restrict any account that fails to maintain ethical or professional compliance at any time.

All validation activity is handled in accordance with UK GDPR, EU GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, and global privacy frameworks.

Our review processes are designed to meet the procurement standards of public health bodies, insurers, and regulated marketplaces.

• Legitimate
• Legally entitled to practise
• Professionally monitored
• Accountable
