  • good practice in shared care
  • structured patient assessment and monitoring

Register your clinic

Make your clinic’s commitment visible

Joining the scheme is free. Participating clinics receive:

  • A profile and link on the MCCS website
  • Permission to display the MCCS “Committed to Good Practice” logo while their participation remains active
  • Recognition of their support for responsible, evidence-informed prescribing

By completing the declaration, an authorised clinic representative publicly endorses the Good Practice Guide in principle and confirms the clinic’s commitment to its overall direction.
Participation is renewed annually, recognising that the Guide will continue to evolve in response to developments in evidence, clinical practice, governance and regulation.

Why the commitment matters

A visible commitment to good practice gives patients greater clarity, provides clinicians with a shared framework and demonstrates that participating clinics take responsible prescribing, transparency and patient-centred care seriously.

The Good Practice Guide is a living document that will continue to develop alongside clinical evidence, professional practice and regulation. Participation does not require agreement on every clinical detail. It represents support for the Guide’s core principles and direction, with opportunities for participating clinics to contribute to future development.

For patients

Has your clinic made the commitment?

Patients should be able to expect responsible prescribing, clear information and care that puts their needs first.

If your clinic is not listed, you can ask its Medical Director or clinical team to consider joining the scheme.

For clinicians

Is your clinic committed to good practice?

If you work for a clinic that supports responsible, transparent and patient-centred prescribing, encourage your Medical Director or clinical leadership team to join the scheme.

Participation gives your clinic a clear way to demonstrate its support for good clinical practice—and helps patients and fellow clinicians identify clinics that share these principles.

Important information

MCCS is not a regulator and does not inspect, audit, accredit, approve or certify participating clinics. A clinic’s inclusion is based on its voluntary annual declaration. Patients should consider their individual needs and make their own checks when choosing a healthcare provider.

MCCS may refuse, suspend or remove a listing if a clinic does not renew its declaration, concerns are raised, or continued participation would be inconsistent with the aims and reputation of the Society.
