Dr / Abed Ibrahim Saleh / Al-Qaissi / 46260
MB reported that Dr Al-Qaissi’s membership had lapsed at the time of applying for fellowship (April 2014) and was invited to reinstate and remain in good standing for a period of two years before re-applying. MB informed the committee that there was confusion regarding his name. In order to resolve the apparent anomaly between the two family names (Al-Qaissi and Al-Qarttani) he was asked to provide documentary evidence to support this change. While some evidence has been provided, the Committee agreed to defer this application until the photographic evidence of his previous name Al-Qaissi was received.

MB reminded the Committee that MRCP(I) is currently considered as a registerable qualification for membership. Applicants with this qualification do not require sponsors but are required to provide evidence of their qualification. Such applications are signed and approved by him for the award of MRCPS(Glasg).
MB reported that MRCP(I) is not considered as directly equivalent to the MRCP(UK) but those who have this qualification can apply for ST3 posts in the UK if they have also completed the Irish Basic Specialty Training and are nationals of the EEA.
After deliberation, the Committee agreed that it would not be unreasonable to request two sponsors for all applicants with MRCP(I) with immediate effect before consideration of the award of MRCPS(Glasg). / ML
