• been recommended for registration within a general scope of practice by

E. Have qualifications, training and experience individually verified and
assessed by Council to ensure comparability to a New Zealand trained
medical practitioner working within a general scope of practice.
For the purpose of assessing and confirming his or her competence to practise
within a general scope of practice, a medical practitioner with qualifications that fall
within this category will be registered in a provisional general scope of practice for
up to two years, with the following conditions, to work:
• in a New Zealand hospital or general practice approved by the Council,
• under the supervision of a registered medical practitioner approved by
Council.
Council may authorise a change of scope from a provisional general scope to a
general scope once a medical practitioner has satisfied the conditions in the
provisional general scope and has:
• successfully completed the requirements during practice within a
provisional general scope of practice; and
• worked for at least two years’ full time or equivalent; and
• received satisfactory reports for the three runs completed (or nine months
worked) immediately prior to applying for registration within a general
scope of practice; and
• been recommended for registration within a general scope of practice by
his or her supervisor.
F. As a transitional arrangement, and for two years only (to 19 September
2006) Council’s class 3 temporary registration policy under the Medical
Practitioners Act 1995 (Appendix 6) will be continued.
This will enable medical practitioners who satisfy this policy, or who held temporary
registration under the Medical Practitioners Act 1995 at 18 September 2004, to be
registered within a provisional general scope of practice.
For the purpose of assessing and confirming his or her competence to practise within
a general scope of practice a medical practitioner will be registered within a provisional
general scope for up to two years with the following conditions, to work:
• in a New Zealand hospital, general practice, educational institution or other
organisation approved by Council; and
