### General Medical Council Register

**General Medical Council Register**

**Identifier:** `GENERAL_MEDICAL_COUNCIL_REGISTER_1`

The General Medical Council (GMC) Register Check confirms whether a doctor is licensed to practise medicine in the UK by verifying their registration status with the GMC. It surfaces registration type (including specialist or GP status), associated qualifications, and any publicly recorded conditions, warnings, or sanctions related to fitness to practise — helping organisations ensure medical professionals meet the legal and professional standards required for clinical roles.

**Note:** This check is ordered via invite or through a parent check. Applicant data is collected via the invite form and is not sent in the API request body.

### Response

**201 Created** — Successfully ordered. Use the returned `id` to retrieve the full case via `GET /api/public/cases/{id}/`.
