The Medical Council is currently seeking expressions of interest from relevant parties to serve on a number of committees.
The Medical Council has a statutory role in protecting the public by promoting the highest professional standards amongst doctors practising in Ireland. To support the Council in delivering its significant role and remit, the Council has a governance structure, supported by committees that focus on particular aspects of its work.
The six committees that the Medical Council is recruiting for are as follows:
- Audit and risk committee
- Education and training committee
- Fitness to practise committee
- Health committee
- Preliminary proceedings committee
- Registration and continuing practice committee
Dr Maria O’Kane, CEO of the Medical Council, said: “The Medical Council’s committees are central to our work as a regulator – spanning fitness to practise, education, registration, audit and health. Serving on a Committee is a meaningful opportunity to contribute directly to the protection of patients and to the integrity of medical regulation in Ireland. We are looking for individuals who bring diverse perspectives, professional experience, and a genuine commitment to patient safety.
“Strong governance depends on the dedication of the people who give their time to it. I would encourage anyone who meets the criteria to consider putting themselves forward. This is an opportunity to help shape how medicine is regulated, and to ensure that the Council’s work continues to reflect the highest standards.”
Applications for each committee will close on 23 April 2026. Interested parties can find more information on role requirements and specifications on the Medical Council website.
