Greetings from the Department of Healthcare Professions.

As part of DHP's continuous pursuit to meet international best practices, and to ensure the optimal utilisation of nursing staff from various categories, each according to their specialisation and field, DH P announces the following:

The separation of the current title 'Assistant Nurse/Assistant Midwife' and its replacement with the new titles:

• Nurse Technician

• Midwife Technician

According, the medical licence will be issued under one of the mentioned titles. As for current practitioners holding the title 'Assistant Nurse/Assistant Midwife,' their scopes will be automatically adjusted based on the academic qualifications and professional experiences recorded in the DH P electronic s~stem, without the need to submit a new request.

This decision shall be effective starting from the date of issuance of this circular.

For further information, contact: dhpregistration@moph.gov.qa

Thank you for your cooperation,

Department of Healthcare Professions
