# The European Qualifications (Pharmacists) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2018, Paragraph 30: Visiting practitioners from relevant European States – saving of old law for up to one year


(1) Where, immediately before exit day—
(a) a visiting practitioner was entitled under paragraph 4 or 7 of Schedule 2B to the 1976 Order to provide occasional pharmacy services, or
(b) the registrar was in receipt of the required documents (within the meaning of paragraph 5 of that Schedule) from a visiting practitioner seeking to acquire that entitlement,
any provision made by an Act or instrument amended by Part 1 or 2 of this Schedule continues to apply in relation to the practitioner without the amendments that Part 1 or 2 of this Schedule makes to the provisions relating to visiting practitioners from relevant European States.
(2) But a visiting practitioner’s entitlement does not continue (or further continue) under paragraph 7 of Schedule 2B to the 1976 Order on or after exit day (and, accordingly, the entitlement lapses at the end of the period mentioned in paragraph 8(1) or (2) of that Schedule).
