Digidentity and GMC's partnership streamlines registration of doctors

Digidentity’s partnership with the General Medical Council (GMC) aims to make healthcare work better for everyone. By providing secure and seamless digital identity verification for doctors, we're helping make healthcare services faster, safer, and more accessible.

One of the key features of this partnership is the introduction of digital identity verification for doctors, a vital element in transforming GMC's registration process. Previously, doctors were required to visit GMC offices in London or Manchester for in-person checks, creating logistical and time-consuming challenges. Now, thanks to the Digidentity Wallet, doctors can complete their registration remotely – saving them time, reducing costs, and increasing convenience.

With a median registration time of just over seven minutes and a 90% success rate from application to verification, the partnership has already proved to streamline the process. The partnership is saving 2 million GBP in UK doctors’ travel fees annually.

By enabling the quick and accurate verification of doctors of more than 149 different nationalities, the system is better equipped to meet the demands of a growing and evolving healthcare landscape.
