I know that a person from the UK does not have the same right to practise here as they are now non-EU. What about if someone comes here who is registered in Germany and has a qualification? Will he or she still be required to register here before setting up a practice? I ask because I know of instances where people have come here from abroad and set up a practice but I would seriously question whether they have the required qualifications. For instance, there are people providing scanning services but there does not appear to be a registration system regarding the provision of scanning services. I have no difficulty with suitably qualified people. Will qualified people who come here from other European counties be aware that they must register here? If so, what checks and balances are in place?
