Last year (July 2024), with several subsequent reminders, we enjoined all registered medical and dental practitioners to update their records on the MDCN portal. We have since been working assiduously to complete the updates and we are about to publish the Register.

This is another reminder and announcement to update your records, if you are yet to do so and ensure your rightful recognition.

Those without their registered AQ will not be recognised as specialists on the Register.
