Some examples of persons who are not “specified persons" :
a) Non-registered allied health professionals (i.e., not currently listed in the Second Schedule of the Allied Health Professionals Act 2011):
i. Audiologists
ii. Clinical Psychologists
iii. Dietitians
iv. Podiatrists
v. Prosthetists/Orthotists
b) Non-registered complementary and alternative medicine practitioners:
i. Chiropractors
ii. Osteopaths
iii. Ayurvedic medicine practitioners
c) Others:
Medical/ dental practitioners or registered allied health professionals who do not/ no longer hold valid practising certificates under the respective legislative acts that govern their professions. For example, retired medical practitioners or persons who hold medical qualifications, but is not registered as a medical practitioner with the Singapore Medical Council to practise as a medical practitioner in Singapore.
Non-healthcare trained person who holds a PhD. For example, the CEO of a medical group who owns a chain of medical clinics and wishes to use the title “Dr” in the advertisement by virtue that he has a PhD in Mechanical Engineering, he needs to adhere to the requirements under Section 31B of the HCSA as he is not a “specified person”.
