The Medical Council is the regulatory body for doctors. It has a statutory role in protecting the public by promoting the highest professional standards amongst doctors practicing in the Republic of Ireland.

The Council also sets the standards for medical education and training in Ireland. It oversees lifelong learning and skills development throughout doctors’ professional careers through its professional competence requirements. It is charged with promoting good medical practice.

All doctors who wish to practice in the Republic of Ireland must be registered with the Irish Medical Council.

The Irish Medical Council maintains two registers, the General Register of Medical Practitioners and the Register of Medical Specialists.

All doctors will need to refer to the Irish Medical Council’s eligibility criteria to determine their application route. To apply for registration, you will create an online account on the Irish Medical Council’s website before you complete the application form and submit your supporting documents.

The Irish Medical Council will review your application and documents before deciding on your registration.
