Registered Medical Practitioner Glasgow

Registered Medical Practitioners use their clinical expertise to carry out medical examinations and provide medical advice on people who claim various types of benefit. They forward their reports where decisions on benefit entitlement are made. Examinations are performed in one of our 150 Medical Services Examination Centres nation-wide or in the claimant's home. Full training is given to allow our Registered Medical Practitioners to become specialists in the field of Disability Assessment. Some doctors may wish to progress to obtaining the Diploma of Disability Assessment Medicine (DDAM), approved by the Faculty of Occupational Medicine.

If you are looking for work that involves no nights or weekends this may be the answer. However, there is an opportunity to work in your spare time to augment your income, if you wish to.
