The Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (Covid-19) Act 2020 (the Act) includes provisions to simplify the process by which certain professionals who were previously registered with a professional regulator can re-register with that regulator. These measures are designed to facilitate recruitment and re-employment of much needed professionals in response to the COVID-19 emergency. The UK has also recently introduced and passed legislation to assist professional regulators in tackling the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n
The Act amends the primary legislation governing inter alia, doctors, nurses, midwives, pharmacists and other health and social care professionals, in order to allow for previous registrants to apply to the respective regulators to have their names re-entered in the relevant register, on a temporary basis.<\/p>\n
The provisions provide that the proposed registration is temporary and is to last until 31 July 2020 but the Minister for Health may extend this deadline. No fees (including retention fees) are to be charged in respect of this temporary registration.<\/p>\n\n
