Prescribers

A signing key. A certificate. A clear CD2 tier.

Join as a GMC doctor. Complete verification, create a PIN-protected signing key, and issue prescriptions that pharmacies can trust. Specialist approval is required for UK Schedule 2.

Onboarding

Apply yourself or accept a practice invite. Upload photo ID, GMC evidence and indemnity. Track status on the application hub until Medikey approves you. Signing keys are created on that same hub — they do not approve you by themselves.

Two clinical tiers

Standard doctors prescribe the open formulary except Schedule 2. Specialist CD2 doctors complete extra evidence (for example ADHD / controlled-drug governance) and are authorised separately. Treatment-area tags are not a licence.

The signature

Each prescription is an ECDSA payload signed with your encrypted private key, bound to a Medikey-issued certificate. Patients and pharmacies can verify it. Your PIN never leaves your control in recoverable form.
