Why should I register?
+
You do not need to register with us for the majority of our content — this is in keeping with our educational mandate.
However, some services — like CPD activities and content legally restricted to healthcare practitioners — require that you are registered and logged in. Rest assured, we handle your information with care and will not use your details for any reason other than those above. You can read more in our Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy.
Your system won’t accept my HPCSA Registration Number
+
This usually happens for one of two reasons:
1. Your number is in the incorrect format
Please double-check that you’ve entered your alphanumeric details correctly. HPCSA registration numbers start with letters followed by a set number of numerals.
2. You were previously registered
We’ve been around a long time. If you’ve been with us before, your details may already be in our system. Contact us and we’ll assist you directly.
I’m not registered with the HPCSA — can I still join the MedED Network?
+
Absolutely! We welcome healthcare professionals from various councils and from across the globe.
Register with your appropriate registration details and you’re good to go. If you need assistance, contact us — we’re happy to help.
You asked about my other interests during registration — why do you need that?
+
We don’t want to be just another website. We want to create content that matters to you. Your interests help us shape the most relevant and useful medical education resources for our community.
We will not use this information for any other purpose or share it with third parties without your consent. You can read more about how we use your data here.
What is the MedED Research Network?
+
It’s a new initiative we’re developing to provide equal, easy access to research, connect professionals, and ensure high-quality peer reviews.
We’re still building it — if you’d like to be kept updated when it launches, get in touch and we’ll add you to the list.
I entered my registration number incorrectly — what do I do?
+
Don’t worry — these things happen. Please contact us with your correct details and we’ll update your profile for you.
