Applications for GMS panels are accepted from EU qualified GPs and non-EU qualified GPs on an equal basis. There are no restrictions for non-EEA qualified general practitioners once they have obtained the requisite immigration status and clearance from the relevant law enforcement agency. All GPs applying for a GMS panel are required to register with the Medical Council of Ireland and must have their name included in the Specialist Division of the Register for General Practice.
