My GMC details are not being recognised

  • Make sure the security settings on your device are not blocking the GMC validation check on our website. Hospital computers often have additional security which could be preventing these checks on our website. 
  • Make sure your surname is entered with a capital first letter, e.g. Smith not smith or SMITH as this field is case sensitive. 
  • Year of qualification is taken from the Primary medical qualification line on GMC registration. 
  • Only click once on the ‘Verify Details’ button after you have filled in all of the information prompted on the page. The validation may take 5-10 seconds to verify so allow time for these checks to complete. 
  • If you click multiple times on the ‘Verify Details’ button, the system may not let you proceed to the application form and return an error. Should this happen, contact [email protected].
