The Medical Registers were published annually, and list all the doctors who were licensed to practice in the UK, including foreign doctors who qualified here. Residence, qualification and date of registration are also included. The online version contains the Registers at four-yearly intervals from 1859-1959, and is available to our registered readers both within the Library and offsite.
The Registers are part of a suite of family history sources on Ancestry Library Edition, including census records, births marriages and deaths, and parish records – all now available online to our registered readers.
More details on how to access the Registers online are available through the Library catalogue.
