How are health personnel legally regulated?

All the European countries have similar systems of safeguarding patients undergoing treatment-related activity. Personnel are governmentally regulated and given an authorisation / license / protected title if they fulfil specific qualifications. These privileges may be given to physicians, nurses, midwives, dentists, pharmacists and various other personnel groups. Specific CAM providers are likewise authorised or licensed in 2/3 of the European countries, but some countries limit the regulation to only a protected title (e.g. England, Finland). A few countries regulate health personnel who want to practise CAM. In Belgium, Hungary, Latvia, and Portugal health personnel are authorised/ licensed or given a certificate if they want to practise CAM. Regulated personnel are supervised either by the authorities or if delegated, by medical federations. Professionals may lose their authorisation / license / title if the condition for authorisation / license / title is seriously violated. This system gives patients protection against incapable practitioners.
