GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER PPD CODE
The NHS Prescription Services code to identify a GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER.
Description
The NHS Prescription Services code to identify a GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER.
The GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER PPD CODE is based on the NHS England issued DOCTOR INDEX NUMBER and is issued by the NHS Prescription Services. The GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER PPD CODE is the DOCTOR INDEX NUMBER prefixed with a leading character and with a check digit added.
For England and Wales, in addition to a GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER PPD CODE, a GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER may have one or more 'spurious'GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER Code(s).
-
These are allocated if a GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER works in additional General Medical Practitioner Practice. The 'spurious'GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER Codes are not derived from the DOCTOR INDEX NUMBER, but do follow the same format as the GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER PPD CODE, and are allocated by the NHS Prescription Services. All 'spurious'GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER Codes begin with either 'G6' or 'G7'.

For further information on 'spurious' codes , see the NHS Business Services Authority website at: Information on spurious codes.
