To manage and treat patients in the UK, all doctors must register with the General Medical Council (GMC). There are several types of registration:

* Provisional registration is for doctors who have just qualifed from medical school in the UK or from certain European Economic Area (EEA) member states.

* Full registration is for doctors who have completed their year's clinical training.

* Limited registration is for international medical graduates who have not completed the equivalent of a year's clinical training in the UK.

* Specialist registration is for doctors who have completed specialist medical training and have a Certificate of Completion of Training(CCT).

The GP Register is a register of all those eligible to work in general practice in the NHS.
