Importance of Professional Registration Checks
Professional registration checks are designed to protect the public and businesses, ensuring that those who practise in health and social care are committed to providing high standards of care as well as transparency.
There are currently eight main regulatory bodies in health, with over one million health professionals on their registers, emphasising the need to establish standards of competence, ethics, conduct and training in healthcare professionals.

Health & Social Qualification Check FAQ’s
What happens if NHS professionals don’t meet requirements?
The chances are that individuals should have no issue proving their GMC qualifications once they have received an NHS offer. However, in the unlikely situation that they find an employee is not GMC registered or that their qualifications don’t match their expectations, then they’re likely to be withdrawn from the role. Keep in mind that all NHS job offers are conditional until NHS background checks have been completed.
How can employers protect themselves from fraudulent applications?
The most effective way to protect your organisation is to partner with a company that specialises in sector-specific qualification checks. Aside from safety and fraud concerns, manual checks can be time-consuming and inconsistent, especially when dealing with high volumes of applicants or overseas qualifications.
By using a professional qualification check service, you’re ensuring nothing slips through the cracks during onboarding. It also gives you confidence that every member of your team has the right training, accreditation, and compliance record.
How often should qualification records be updated?
The most vital points for qualification checks are at the point of hire. However, employers are expected to keep training and certification records up to date throughout the entirety of a staff member’s employment. Using a managed qualification check service can simplify this process by helping you stay compliant without the admin burden.
