What sectors require registration and registering bodies
There are many sectors within healthcare in Ireland that require you to have an active registration with appropriate regulatory bodies. Here's all you need to know.

There are several health and care professions in Ireland that require candidates to have an active registration with an appropriate regulatory body, so I thought it would be useful to quickly list some of those bodies and the professions they regulate.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council of Ireland (NMBI)
The NMBI deals with nurses and midwives.
All candidates must have an active registration and PIN number in order to practice legally in Ireland.
The Medical Council of Ireland (IMC)
The IMC is responsible for the registration of all doctors working in Ireland.
The Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland (PSI)
The PSI the Ireland’s Pharmacy regulator and deals with Pharmacist and Pharmaceutical Assistant registration and regulation.
CORU
CORU is Ireland’s multi-health regulator and its remit extends to 15 health and social care professions.

About the author
Co-Founder
I studied English before moving into publishing in the mid 90s. I co-founded this and our other three sites in 2008. I wanted to provide a platform that gives a voice to those working in health and social care. I'm fascinated, generally, by the career choices we all make. But I'm especially interested in the stories told by those who choose to spend their life supporting others. They are mostly positive and life-affirming stories, despite the considerable challenges and burdens faced.
