 medical practitioners who hold vocational registration are competent to
 practise the branch or sub-branch of medicine in respect of which they
 are registered, the Council may from time to time set or recognise
 recertification programmes in respect of such practitioners.

   (2) Any recertification programme may be made to apply generally in
 respect of all such medical practitioners, or in respect of a specified
 medical practitioner, or in respect of any specified class or classes of
 such medical practitioners.

   (3) Any recertification programme may require a medical practitioner
 to do any 1 or more of the following at such intervals (if any)
 prescribed in the programme:
   (a) Pass an examination:
   (b) Complete a period of practical training:
   (c) Undertake a course of instruction:
   (d) Permit a registered health professional specified by the Council
         to examine---
           (i) Any or all of his or her clinical and other practices:
           (ii) Any or all of his or her relations with other registered
         health professionals:
           (iii) Any or all of the clinical records kept by the
         practitioner in relation to his or her patients:
   (e) Undergo an inspection or assessment:
   (f) Adopt and undertake a systematic process for ensuring that the
         services provided by the practitioner are of a quality
         appropriate to his or her registration:
   (g) Anything else that the Council considers appropriate.

   (4) Every recertification programme shall allow a reasonable time
 (being not less than 3 years) for a medical practitioner to whom it
 relates to comply with its requirements.

   (5) The Council may exempt any medical practitioner or class of
 medical practitioners from all or any of the requirements of any
 recertification programme.

   (6) Within 15 working days after a recertification programme is set or
 recognised by the Council, the Registrar shall notify every medical
 practitioner who is required to undertake the programme of that fact and
 of the details of the programme.
