Joining County Medical as a Practitioner
County Medical welcomes medical and clinical practitioners, who meet our criteria, to join us in our journey to provide the highest quality of care to its members.We expect doctors who treat our patients to:
- Be registered with the GMC with a license to practise
- Be on the Specialist register
- Be registered with, or exempt from registration, with the CQC
- Hold a full-time contract with the NHS or have admitting privileges with a major private hospital
- Have malpractice insurance
- Have no restriction on their practice
- Commit to work only within their area of expertise
- Commit to charging for service according to our payment schedule
As a doctor you don’t need to register separately with us, provided you have practicing privileges at a private hospital that is registered with the CQC and follows the Medical Practitioner Assurance Program (MPAF). We may, on occasions, however, as part of our quality assurance program request evidence to this effect when a claim is being made.
