The National Health Service (Appointment of Consultants) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2010
These Regulations amend the National Health Service (Appointment of Consultants) (Scotland) Regulations 2009 (“the 2009 Regulations”). Regulation 3A(1) makes it a requirement that a consultant must be on the Specialist Register, as defined in the 2009 Regulations, before they may take up an appointment as a consultant. Regulation 3A(2) exempts persons who held a post as a consultant in the health services of England, Wales, Northern Ireland or Scotland in oral and maxillo-facial surgery prior to 1st January 1997 from that requirement.
