There is a legal requirement for a register, the list of "registered medical practitioners" in Britain. That is the main job of the GMC.

"The main objective of the General Council in exercising their functions is to protect, promote and maintain the health and safety of the public".

It liaises with other nations' medical and university regulatory bodies over medical schools overseas, leading to some qualifications being mutually recognised.
