GMC Specialist Register: The GMC Specialist Register is the register of doctors recognised as specialists. NICE says the initial prescription of most CBPMs must be made by a specialist medical practitioner on that register.

One of the most important UK-specific access terms.

UK law and NICE guidance make specialist status central to initial prescribing.

Not every doctor can initiate prescribing in this area.
