At MDPDA, our mission is to provide healthcare professionals with trusted clinical calculators, decision-support tools, and evidence-based medical resources. To help maintain the integrity of our platform and support the responsible use of professional clinical tools, we operate a Healthcare Professional (HCP) Verification Programme.
Verification enables us to build a secure and trusted environment where clinicians can access professional resources with confidence while helping to preserve the quality and credibility of our healthcare community.
Why We Verify Healthcare Professionals
Many of the calculators, scoring systems, and clinical reference tools available on MDPDA are intended to support healthcare professionals in everyday clinical practice. Verifying users helps us ensure that professional features are accessed by appropriately identified healthcare practitioners while fostering a trusted community built around evidence-based medicine.
Verification also allows us to:
- Maintain the integrity of professional-only services.
- Improve the relevance of future platform features.
- Develop specialty-specific clinical tools and resources.
- Better understand the needs of our global clinical community.
- Support compliance with professional, regulatory, and security standards where appropriate.
Importantly, verification is not intended to restrict access to medical knowledge. General educational content and many clinical resources remain freely available. Rather, verification enables us to provide additional professional services, enhanced functionality, and future features to appropriately identified healthcare users.
How Verification Works
Healthcare professionals can create an MDPDA account using their professional details. Depending on a user’s profession, country of practice, and the availability of regulatory data, verification may involve one or more of the following methods:
- Professional registration or licence numbers issued by recognised regulatory bodies.
- Verification against publicly available professional registers where available.
- Validation of professional or institutional email addresses.
- Manual review where automated verification is not currently possible.
- Submission of additional supporting documentation where appropriate.
Verification processes vary between countries because healthcare registration systems differ internationally. As MDPDA continues to expand, we will introduce additional verification pathways to improve global coverage and support a wider range of healthcare professions.
Supporting a Global Healthcare Community
Healthcare professionals practise within diverse regulatory frameworks across different countries and healthcare systems. MDPDA has been designed to support an expanding international community that includes:
- Medical doctors
- Nurses
- Pharmacists
- Dentists
- Paramedics
- Physiotherapists
- Occupational therapists
- Radiographers
- Physician associates
- Allied health professionals
- Other appropriately regulated healthcare practitioners
Our verification programme continues to evolve as additional regulatory authorities and professional registers become available.
Protecting Your Professional Information
We recognise that professional registration information must be handled responsibly and securely.
Information submitted during registration and verification is processed in accordance with applicable data protection legislation and our Privacy Policy.
Professional registration details are used solely for legitimate purposes, including:
- Verification of professional status
- Account administration
- Platform security
- Fraud prevention
- Regulatory compliance where applicable
We do not publicly display professional registration numbers, and we do not sell or disclose personal information to third parties for advertising or unrelated marketing purposes.
Access to verification information is restricted to authorised personnel and protected using appropriate technical and organisational security measures designed to safeguard confidentiality and integrity.
Verification Status
Where verification is available, users may be assigned an account status reflecting the progress of the verification process, such as:
- Pending Verification – Registration has been received and is awaiting review.
- Verified – Professional status has been successfully confirmed.
- Additional Information Required – Further details are needed to complete verification.
- Verification Unsuccessful – Professional status could not be confirmed based on the information provided.
Where appropriate, users may be invited to submit additional documentation or updated information to complete the verification process.
