Family medicine and the specialist register

Abstract

It has indeed been an honour to serve again as MCFD President for two consecutive terms. When one thinks that one has spent nine years in all as President of the College one cannot but think humbly about members who have entrusted you to do so and I hope that I have satisfied them somewhat in what we have achieved -things which were mentioned in other editorials. Today I wish to speak about an ongoing issue which started during my tenure but which remain unresolved, although we have given our recommendations to issue a change in the law. We have spoken about this issue during several AGMs and also in this editorial but it is worth explaining the issue again as the law become clearer as we go along.
