UK Statutory Instrument 2016 United Kingdom

The European Qualifications (Health and Social Care Professions) Regulations 2016

These Regulations, which are made under powers contained in the European Communities Act 1972, implement, in part, amendments to Directive 2005/36/EC (“the Directive”) made by Directive 2013/55/EU, which concerns the recognition of professional qualifications. The essential aim of the Directive is to facilitate the free movement of persons between Member States of the European Union, by setting out principles and procedures which Member States are to apply in determining the rights of migrants to pursue professions which require professional qualifications. Accordingly, the Regulations make amendments to a number of Acts and statutory instruments in order to reflect the changes made to the Directive. Show full description
