The practice

Our doctors

Every doctor who consults on the programme is a medical practitioner registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). Each profile shows the registered name, HPCSA registration number, registration category, registered qualification and in-person practice, and you can check any registration on the HPCSA register.
