I am working abroad and I am remote consulting with patients in Ireland – do I need to enrol on an Irish Professional Competence Scheme (PCS)?

All doctors working in Ireland for 30 days or more in a PCS year are obliged to enrol on an Irish PCS; this includes doctors remote consulting with patients based in Ireland.
