182: Suspension and ending of appointment of health and safety medical practitioners

You could also call this:

“How health and safety medical practitioners can lose their job”

The regulator can stop a health and safety medical practitioner from working at any time. They can do this by suspending the practitioner or ending their appointment.

If you’re a health and safety medical practitioner, your job will automatically end if you stop being a medical practitioner. This means you can’t keep working in this role if you’re not a doctor anymore.
