What the buyer is looking for
The PSI requires a service provider to fully undertake overseeing the process of conducting examinations and assessing those qualifying Pharmacists/Professionals that fall under the eligibility of Path B of the Third Country Qualification Recognition (TCQR) route. The TCQR route is the regulatory process operated by the PSI for pharmacists who obtained their qualification as a pharmacist in a country outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA) who are seeking to have their qualification recognised so that they can then apply to register in Ireland. This will include the complete end-to-end management of the two assessments outlined in the requirements of this tender document; 1) An Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) 2) A Comprehensive Multiple-Choice Questionnaire
