Regulation 23 Part 2 of the Register

Where, immediately before the relevant date, a visiting practitioner is entitled under paragraph 3 of Schedule 1A to the 1997 Act, or continues to be entitled under paragraph 4 of that Schedule, to be registered in Part 2 of the Register, any provision made by or under that Act continues to apply in relation to the provision of services on a temporary and occasional basis by the visiting practitioner without the amendments made by Part 2 of these Regulations.

But the receipt by the Registrar on or after exit day of renewal documents does not give rise to any continuing entitlement under paragraph 4 of that Schedule (and, accordingly, the entitlement or continuing entitlement mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) ceases at the end of the relevant period mentioned in paragraph 5 of that Schedule).

In this regulation—

• “the Registrar” means the person appointed under section 2 of the 1997 Act;

• “renewal documents” means the documents listed in paragraph 4(6) of Schedule 1A to that Act;

• “visiting practitioner” has the same meaning as in paragraph 2(1)(a) of that Schedule.
