Verification & governance
Nobody gets in on a claim.
Verification is the product, not a setting. It happens before you can post, and it stays attached to everything you write.
How access is granted
- 01You give us your registration details
Regulator, registration number and role — not just an email address.
- 02We check the public register
Your number is verified against your regulator's official register lookup or API, including registration status and any recorded restrictions.
- 03Professional email confirmed
A professional NHS email address, tied to the registration we checked.
- 04Re-verified over time
Verification is a continuing obligation. We re-check periodically and can suspend access pending re-verification.
- 05Your verified role travels with every post
So advice can be weighed properly — and the thread stays an attributable record.

Compared with a group chat
The difference is what happens after the advice.

InforMed is not a substitute for your own clinical judgement, and no platform removes your professional responsibility for decisions you make.
Get verified.
Verification takes a few minutes and only needs to happen once.
