What's New

Regarding foreign medical practitioners or dentists: Norway is introducing an electronic prescription system. To be able to sign prescriptions and sicklines electronically, medical practitioners must be registered with their Norwegian 11 digits ID number. Alternatively, a temporary ID number called a D-number can be used. It is important that the Norwegian ID number or D-number is stated on the application form. If the ID number or D-number is not known at the time of application, the applicant must inform SAFH as soon as they receive an ID number. 5. June 2008

Information to new applicants from India: In the last few weeks, SAFH has seen a growing amount of new applications for authorisation from Indian health personnel. In order to rectify some misunderstandings about our office and work for health personnel in Norway, we have written a letter of general information, available here. 23. February 2006
