The regulated professions with automatic recognition are:

• practitioner;
• dentist;
• veterinary surgeon;
• pharmacist;
• midwife;
• nurse;
• architect.

Specification: these professions fall into 2 categories:

• in principle: they are regulated professions with automatic recognition (list 3);
• unless the diploma has been obtained:
  • in a country outside the European Union (EU); or
  • within the EU but does not meet the criteria set out in the Annexes to Directive 2005/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 September 2005 on the recognition of professional qualifications.

In the latter two cases, the professions then belong to list 2.
