The Act on Health Care Professionals (559/1994) contains regulations on the right to practice as a health care professional and/or to use a professional title for (1) persons trained in Finland or (2) in another EU/EEA state, (3) nationals of a third country and educated in another EU/EEA state, (4) nationals of an EU/EEA state and educated outside the EU/EEA and (5) nationals of a third country and educated outside the EU/EEA. https://www.finlex.fi/en/laki/kaannokset/1994/19940559 National Supervisory Authority for Welfare and Health (Valvira) grants, upon application, the right to practice as a licenced or authorised professional and authorises the use of the occupational title of healthcare professional. https://www.valvira.fi/web/en/healthcare/professional_practice_rights The National Supervisory Authority for Welfare and Health (Valvira) requires a verified document of medical graduation so that a physician who has graduated outside the EU/EEA can seek a right to practice medicine in Finland. Then a special examination is required, and at present, the Faculty of Medicine and Life Sciences of the University of Tampere organizes these (hence they are called “Tampere- examinations”). Before taking part of the examination, the candidate must have completed a language examination of Finnish or Swedish, the two official languages of Finland, and must have been working for six months in a Finnish hospital of health center. In accordance with the internationalisation strategy for higher education, universities of applied sciences may provide education for immigrants free of charge with a view to providing them with language proficiency and other knowledge and skills needed for studies at a university of applied sciences (Act 932/2014, section 10). https://www.finlex.fi/en/laki/kaannokset/2014/en20140932_20160563.pdf There are multiple policies across the ministries to support education and familiarisation of immigrants and multicultial workplaces. The focus of these policies is not particularly on health care personnel but in general on immigrant employees. The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment has published a website Online manual on the Act on the Promotion of Immigrant Integration. The manual provides an up-to-date information package about the application of the act for parties working to integrate immigrants and offering measures promoting integration. The manual contains information about the different stages of immigrant integration. These issues are mainly examined from employees’ perspective. https://kotouttaminen.fi/en/online-manual-on-integration The Finnish Institute of Occupational Health conduct research and training regarding multicultural workplaces and work well-being at these workplaces. In addition, the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health has developed instruments which help workplaces to evaluate their strengths and development needs that are related to multicultural issues. The instruments help in evaluating how multiculturalism is taken into account at the workplace, e.g. in terms of familiarisation, supervision and occupational health care. These instruments also assist to develop equal recruitment, treatment and participation opportunities as well as the role of the management in a multicultural workplace. https://www.ttl.fi/tyoyhteiso/monikulttuurinen-tyoelama/

E.g. Coordination of data on in and out-flow, integration and recognition of foreign qualifications, engagement with diaspora. The National Institute for Health and Welfare provides data on in and out-flow etc. (See 4.) The National Supervisory Authority for Welfare and Health (Valvira) grants, upon application, the right to practice as a licenced or authorised professional and authorises the use of the occupational title of healthcare professional regardless of the health care professional´s origin, nationality or the state where the qualification was completed. Recognition of foreign qualifications is based on the Act on Health Care Professionals (559/1994). (See 10.1.)

According to the Act on the Promotion of Immigrant Integration (1386/2010, section 7) immigrants have to provided with information about their rights and obligations in Finnish working life and society as well as information about the service system and the measures promoting integration. Several authorities and professional organizations disseminate information on legislation related to international recruitment and migration both for employers and work-based immigrants. The need for better coordination has been recognized. Some examples are given below: The National Supervisory Authority for Welfare and Health Valvira makes available information, in English, about professional practice rights in health care, the application process for persons qualified in the EU/EEA states and outside the EU/EEA states, language requirements and legislation as well as various contact information. https://www.valvira.fi/web/en/healthcare/professional_practice_rights/qualified_in_eu_eea_member_state Information for work-based immigrants in health care and social welfare is also available via the websites of the professional organizations, e.g. the Finnish Medical Association, the Finnish Dental Association, the Union of Health and Social Care Professionals Tehy, the Finnish Nurses Association, the Union of Professional Social Workers Talentia and the Finnish Union of Practical Nurses SuPer.

On average, the unemployment rates among foreigntrained and immigrant health care professionals are higher in comparison to the native health professionals. Thus, a fluent process of authorisation as well as learning the Finnish language are key measures to support their integration.

The Government adopted 2017 the Program to support the expatriate Finns with 17 policy guidelines regarding different sectors of life outside Finland. https://intermin.fi/documents/1410869/3723692/Hallituksen+ulkosuomalaispoliittinen+ohjelma+2017-2021.pdf/4ccac0d7-b7f3-453b-8df5-872fce0de27a/Hallituksen+ulkosuomalaispoliittinen+ohjelma+2017-2021.pdf.pdf
