FAQ: What is a DIN number?

‘DIN’ stands for ‘Doctors Index Number’, a unique prescribing code issued to GPs when they qualify.

GP partners and salaried GPs can link their DIN to the practice they work at. Practice managers and GPs must register for ePACT2 to see prescribing data by DIN.

"I have always valued real-person interactive support which the National Association of Sessional GPs has given in spades. It is particularly helpful for the older GP locums who may not be technologically savvy and may feel 'forced into' locum work at the end of their professional career when it wasn't necessarily a planned choice.
