Clinician verification
Legal and claim review in progress
This page describes the standards and ways of working Tibacare intends to apply. Its substantive wording remains under accountable review, and it does not mean that the services, partnerships or arrangements it mentions are already in operation.
Clinicians do not join the Tibacare network simply by creating a profile.
Professional identity, registration, and relevant credentials are reviewed before clinicians can provide approved clinical services through the platform.
Why it matters
A name, photograph, and specialty description are not enough to establish professional standing.
Tibacare uses a structured process to help establish who a clinician is, the professional basis of their expertise, and the services for which they may be considered.
The objective is not simply to confirm that someone is a doctor. It is to understand the professional basis on which they participate.
Introduces a clinician, but does not establish professional standing.
is not the same as
Reviews identity, registration, and the basis of claimed expertise.
is not the same as
Considers whether that expertise fits defined work and circumstances.
The public verification journey
Verification becomes progressively more specific: from establishing identity and registration to understanding expertise, standing, and the work for which a clinician may be considered.
Exact evidence and source checks vary by profession, role, service, and jurisdiction. This public journey explains the structure without exposing internal credentialing controls.
01
Identity
Professional credentials are matched with appropriate identity information before a clinician can be approved to provide services through the network.
Professional credentials need to belong to the person presenting them.
02
Professional registration
Where a profession is regulated, registration status, professional category, and relevant published conditions are reviewed using an appropriate authoritative source.
Uploaded evidence may support the process, but an authoritative source is used where one is available.
03
Qualifications & expertise
Registration alone does not establish every specialty or sub-specialty. Relevant qualifications, specialist status, and professional credentials are reviewed for the clinician and services involved.
A specialty is not simply a self-declared area of interest.
04
Standing & experience
Relevant professional history, current practice, experience, references, and standing may be considered according to the role and proposed service.
The review must be proportionate to how the clinician may participate.
05
Service & scope suitability
A clinician may be appropriately registered and experienced without being suitable for every service. Expertise, scope, clinical context, and remote-care appropriateness are considered separately.
Different clinicians may be suitable for different contribution types.
06
Applies across the pathwayLocation & jurisdiction
Eligibility can depend on clinician location, patient location, professional registration, service type, and the requirements applying to that interaction.
Service availability can vary between clinicians, services, and locations.
07
Applies across the pathwayApproval & ongoing review
Network onboarding, relevant standards, and service approval follow the professional review. Registration, evidence, scope, and suitability can be reassessed as circumstances change.
Verification is not treated as a one-time event.
Verification & suitability
A clinician may be appropriately registered and experienced while still not being suitable for every clinical service. Tibacare therefore distinguishes professional verification from suitability for defined work.
Professional verification
The review asks who the clinician is and what supports their professional position.
Service suitability
A separate decision considers whether the clinician fits the service and context.
Defined contribution
A clinician may be considered for one or more contribution types where their expertise and the pathway align. Participation in one does not imply approval for all.
Professionally verified
When Tibacare describes a clinician as professionally verified, it means that the clinician has completed the relevant Tibacare verification process for participation in the network. This may include professional identity, registration, relevant credentials, and additional review appropriate to the clinician and services involved.
It does not mean automatic suitability or legal eligibility for every service, patient, or jurisdiction.
Verification has limits
Professional verification does not mean:
Proportionate review
Depending on the clinician, service, and applicable requirements, additional professional checks may also be relevant. These are applied where required rather than presented as one universal checklist.
Identity and credential evidence belongs in an approved verification route. It should not be sent through a general public enquiry or exposed as a public verification record.
Read current security & data guidanceReviewed according to the work and applicable requirements.
Applied where the role, service, and relevant requirements call for it.
Relevant history and references may support role-specific review.
Considered in relation to the people and pathway involved.
Supports recognition of remote-care limits and escalation needs.
Relevant declarations and participation expectations form part of onboarding.
Ongoing professional standards
Joining the network also means working within Tibacare's Clinical Network Standards and remaining accountable for professional judgement, scope, and relevant obligations.
Network standards
Professional independence
Tibacare verifies and coordinates access to clinicians, but it does not replace their professional judgement.
Clinicians remain responsible for working within their competence, professional obligations, and the scope of the service they provide.
Verification supports trust. It does not direct the clinical opinion.
Ongoing assurance
Professional registration, credentials, and circumstances can change. Tibacare maintains processes for periodic review and reassessment where relevant changes become known.
What this means
The same structured approach supports confidence from different perspectives without turning professional verification into a guarantee.
Patients & families
Clinicians providing approved services through Tibacare have their professional identity and relevant credentials reviewed. The clinician considered for a service should also have a professional background relevant to that work.

Verification provides a basis for network participation, while service suitability, organisational requirements, and cross-border considerations can be addressed for the collaboration involved.
