This has had significant implications for non-consultant hospital doctors, usually non-EU citizens, who occupy service posts not recognised for training purposes. The amending Act also makes provision for intern registration and temporary registration to apply in a number of health care settings whereas the current legislation confines these types of registration to hospital work. Finally, it makes provision for any EU citizen who has obtained a primary degree within the EU to obtain internship registration in this country. Previously, only graduates of Irish universities could undertake their internship registration in Ireland.
