Provider verification

Patients should be able to understand who is providing their healthcare, so providers complete the relevant SQEDULE checks before their services can be booked.

What we'll ask you for

It depends on your profession, business and services, but may include:

  • Professional registration details
  • Qualifications and credentials
  • Professional indemnity insurance
  • Regulatory registration, where it applies
  • Sole traders: your trading name, business address and photo identity
  • Limited companies: the Companies House number, an authorised representative and the beneficial owners
  • Data protection: your ICO registration, privacy notice and complaints procedure
  • Practice locations
  • The services you want to offer

How the checks work

  • Professional registration

    Where it applies, your registration is checked against the relevant public register: GMC, NMC, GDC, HCPC, GPhC, GOsC, GCC or GOC, or for counselling, psychotherapy, CBT and clinical physiology a Professional Standards Authority Accredited Register such as the BACP, UKCP, NCPS, BPC, BABCP or RCCP. Each service names the professions that may provide it and anything the register must also show, such as prescribing rights or a specialist register entry. Fertility treatment needs an HFEA licence.

  • Qualifications and credentials

    Reviewed against the services you want to offer. You may be asked for supporting documents.

  • Insurance

    Evidence of current, appropriate professional indemnity insurance.

  • Regulatory information

    Where your activities need regulatory registration, we check it. In England this may include CQC registration.

  • Data protection

    We review your ICO registration, or the reason you are exempt from the fee. Your privacy notice and complaints procedure are shown on your clinic page.

  • Service approval

    Services may be reviewed against your registration, qualifications and other requirements before they are published.

  • Keeping it current

    We track registration and document expiry dates, check professional registers again each month and review evidence with no expiry date each year. Every six months you reconfirm your services and prices, and every year you renew your provider declaration. If something lapses or is 30 days overdue, the services it covers are hidden until it is updated.
