UK-register-linked
UK-register-linked local registration
Keep GMC registration and a current licence to practise, and obtain Jersey Care Commission registration before any permanent, temporary or locum work. GPs additionally need the Jersey Performers List, UK GP Register entry and local induction. Confirm specialist credentials and job requirements with the employer.
Other professions
Nurses and midwives need both NMC and Jersey Care Commission registration. The Commission also registers ambulance paramedics and provides dental-professional guidance. Most covered health-professional categories depend on an appropriate UK register; pharmacy has a separate Chief Pharmacist route. Do not extrapolate this to veterinarians.
Automatic or direct recognition describes a particular qualification procedure. Registration, language, scope, supervision, employment and immigration requirements can still apply. A UK licence or job title alone does not settle the route.
