Definition of Recognised Doctor: actively working as a general practitioner but not necessarily full-time and where ‘active’ is based on the doctor’s self-declaration and not on the number of performance. These doctors are “recognised” since at some point they have met the established criteria such as being on-calls, regularly maintaining their knowledge, etc. The processing of the data is the address of the GP (which does not always coincide with the practice address).
