Greetings from the Department of Healthcare Professions (DHP),

In line with DHP’s commitment to meeting quality standards and continuous improvement, while ensuring the efficiency of its procedures, to DHP has decided to reduce the processing timeframe of most requests submitted by healthcare practitioners in the nursing, pharmacy, and allied healthcare professions categories.

Moreover, a comprehensive review has been conducted to determine the appropriate processing time for all types of requests. This review aims to allow sufficient time for a thorough and effective examination of documents submitted by healthcare practitioners, ensuring their competence and safety. At the same time, it ensures a seamless ﬂow of procedures.
