PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION is the registration of a PERSON with a PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION BODY.

The PERSON may have several PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION TYPES HELD recorded for a PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION each of which will be separately identified by its PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION TYPE. This may be due to more than one registration type being able to be held concurrently or that each registration type awarded supersedes the previous one.

The PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION TYPE HELD EFFECTIVE START DATE and the PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION TYPE HELD EFFECTIVE END DATE records the effective period of the PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION TYPE HELD. Where no PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION TYPE HELD EFFECTIVE END DATE is recorded then the PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION TYPE HELD is still current.

In specific professions, an EMPLOYEE must have successfully completed a recognised or accredited training programme and applied to the relevant PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION BODY in order to be registered as able to practice. This registration is recorded by a PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION for each PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION TYPE held by the EMPLOYEE.

A PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION has to be maintained on a regular basis in line with the requirements of the PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION BODY.

For certain POSITIONS within an ORGANISATION it is mandatory for the EMPLOYEE to hold a PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION TYPE HELD of a given PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION TYPE or from a list of PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION TYPES (as multiple PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION TYPES may be acceptable for the POSITION).
