Submitted in partial compliance with the requirements for the Masters’ Degree in Technology: Chiropractic, Durban University of Technology, 2014. / Background: The function and roles of legislation primarily provide a protective function for the public by preserving their fundamental rights. Legislation also maintains the legitimacy of the professions and aids in defining the scope of practice within the profession. Legislation may however affect the international migration of practitioners, in addition to geographical proximity, shared language, customs and educational curricula as well as historical links. There is no published literature that compares chiropractic legislation in regulated countries, thus no understanding of where possible similarities and differences exist and the impact they may have on the migration of chiropractors Objective: The main objective of the study is to aid in increasing the understanding of the values, structures and operations of various international chiropractic regulatory systems with the goal of identifying the similarities and differences (viz. compare) between these chiropractic regulatory systems. Method: Six countries with chiropractic Legislation were selected using purposive sampling based on the number of practicing chiropractors. The USA was divided into states with the top three selected according to practicing chiropractors, Canada was divided and the top province selected based on practicing chiropractors. Information and data was obtained via desk based research and additional information was gathered by the researcher from the registrar of the respective regulatory bodies. Results: A variety of factors were identified that may either aid in or hinder the mobility of chiropractors across jurisdictions. By analysing the legislative documents, it was found that regulatory bodies remain similar in content and structure however significant differences were also found. Conclusion: In conclusion, regulatory bodies and their governing documents and procedures remain similar in content and structure. However the study revealed differences factors that could possibly affect the mobility of chiropractors across jurisdictions. These areas identified included: Educational standards and processes, competency maintenance, registration requirements (local and foreign), disciplinary procedure and processes and constraints placed by supranational bodies.

M.Cur. / The legal limitations in the practice of the Primary Health Care nurse (PHC nurse)' in the RSA have direct implications for the achievement of the goal "Health for all by the year 2000". The questions which had to be answered by means of the research are in relation to the legal limitations, the nature and scope of the limitations as well as to how these limitations should be addressed in order to facilitate the practice of the PHC nurse. A content analysis of selected health legislation was done and recommendations formulated to amend and/or clarify certain health legislation. The research design is an exploratory descriptive study with a qualitative research orientation. A content analysis of certain professional and relevant health legislation showed legal limitations in the practice of the PHC nurse. Experts in the field of PHC who were interviewed confirmed that there are limitations in the practice of the PHC nurse. The limitations identified were the following: • limitations in certain health professions and other health legislation • limitations caused by the interpretation of legislation by health professions • limitations due to the attitudes and perceptions of medical practitioners, pharmacists and nurses in respect of the role and functions of the PHC nurse The conclusions indicate that there are limitations in the practice of the PHC nurse which have direct implications for the achievement of the objectives of the National Health Policy, 1989. Recommendations include the amendment of certain health legislation, addressing limitations caused by attitudes and perceptions at educational, professional, policy making and management levels, for nurses, medical practitioners and pharmacists.
