You should check this Website from time to time to review the then current terms and conditions, because they are binding on you. Certain provisions of these terms and conditions may be superseded by expressly designated legal notices or terms located on particular pages of this Website. If you do not wish to accept any new terms and conditions after we have given notice, you should not continue to use this Website.

REGISTRATION PROCESS
2.1 To register with clinicalspecialist.co.uk you must be listed on the General Medical Council (GMC) Specialist Register.

2.3 Your entry will not be listed on the Clinical Specialist web site until all three stages are complete (including the subscription payment stage) and your entry has been approved by us.

However, if you wish to enable another person (such as your PA or secretary) to access your entry, you may do this via the Control Panel. They will then be sent their own username and password.
