Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations prescribe the description of medical practice which may be approved for the purposes of employing a Pre-Registration House Officer (“PRHO”) pursuant to section 10 of the Medical Act 1983, and also prescribe the conditions of residence with which a PRHO must comply throughout the period of such employment.
As a consequence of the above, regulation 4 further amends the National Health Service (General Medical Services) Regulations 1992 which regulate the terms on which general medical services are provided under the National Health Service Act 1977. In particular, they amend Schedule 2 of those Regulations (doctors' terms of service) to include a PRHO in the definition of those whom a doctor may engage to act as his deputy, and Schedule 12 (information to be included in practice leaflets) in order to ensure that the role of a PRHO is explained to patients of the members of the practice.
