Here’s how to add or update it:
Keeping your profile updated ensures prospective patients and colleagues recognize your areas of expertise. While subspecialties can be updated freely, it is important to note that top-level specialties are governed by external bodies such as the General Medical Council (GMC) or General Dental Council (GDC).
Adding or updating your specialty is a valuable step in optimizing your professional profile. This ensures your presence on Doctify accurately reflects your expertise in areas such as Aesthetics, General Practice, and more. Additionally, it is essential to understand the distinction between top-level specialties, which are determined based on external guidelines, and subspecialties, which can be customized to reflect specific expertise.

These cannot be changed unless there is a formal reclassification.
