The Act addressed an issue which currently prevents holders of UK medical degrees from accessing medical intern training posts in Ireland. The Act also makes other registration related amendments required to ensure the continued provision of a route to registration on the General Division of the Medical Council\u2019s register for certain cohorts of internationally trained doctors. It also made a number of amendments to support the performance by the Medical Council of its triage, investigation, and adjudication of complaints functions under the 2007 Act.<\/p>\n
This section amends section 88 of the 2020 Act which had not yet been commenced. It provides that medical degrees completed wholly or mainly in the UK will meet the requirements for recognition as intern qualifications in Ireland subject to meeting qualifying criteria set by the Medical Council.<\/p>\n
An Irish intern qualification will be construed in accordance with the 2007 Act and must be completed wholly or mainly in the State.<\/p>\n
This section amends section 96 of the 2020 Act which has not yet been commenced. It provides for the continued route to registration on the General Division for certain cohorts of internationally trained doctors. It also provides a transitional provision to ensure that the commencement of section 96 of the 2020 Act and the commencement of this section will be aligned.<\/p>\n
This section amends section 110 of the 2020 Act which has not yet been commenced. It further supports the performance of the Medical Council\u2019s triage, investigation, and adjudication of complaints functions under a new system introduced by the 2020 Act. Section 14 also provides a transitional provision to ensure that the commencement of section 110 of the 2020 Act and the commencement of this section will be aligned.<\/p>\n\n
