The move to national registration of doctors presents both threats and opportunities for the manner in which doctors seek health care and for providing assistance to doctors who may be impaired by illness. The most striking threat is the regressive nature of the provisions for mandatory reporting of ill doctors. The new system should be grasped as an opportunity to achieve national agreement on resourcing adequate services to help distressed doctors and to foster education and research into the health of doctors and medical students. The new system also provides opportunities to explore ways of encouraging doctors to improve their poor record of not attending to their own health, such as denying Medicare rebates for most doctors who self-refer.
将医生纳入国家注册系统，这既对医生寻求医疗保健的方式，也对为可能因病受损的医生提供援助构成了威胁和机遇。最引人注目的威胁是，对强制报告患病医生的规定具有倒退性。新系统应被视为一个契机，以就提供充足资源服务以帮助困境中的医生达成国家共识，并促进对医生和医学生健康问题的教育和研究。新系统还提供了探索鼓励医生改善其忽视自身健康不良记录的方式的机会，例如拒绝向大多数自我转诊的医生提供医疗保险回扣。
