The findings of a survey of 3262 women doctors registered between 1945 and 1974 are reported. The results are based on 2433 returned questionnaires (75% response). The survey confirmed that the special forms of assistance provided to enable women doctors to continue training and to work after graduation are inadequate. Although the Women Doctors' Retainer Scheme and part-time training schemes are suited to women's needs, they are insufficiently publicized, inflexibly administered and limited in availability. The need for a counselling service for women doctors is not met. Facilities for child care on NHS premises are very deficient. With more substantial provision of all these forms of assistance to women doctors, the scope and extent of their contribution to medicine could be increased. The Medical Register is an unreliable means of ascertaining the numbers and whereabouts of women who may require this special assistance. The main problem now is not a lack of ideas about suitable provision for women doctors, but the implementation by the relevant authorities of the proposals already made, to enable both women doctors themselves and the NHS to benefit.
报告了一项对1945年至1974年间注册的3262名女医生的调查结果。结果基于2433份回收的问卷（回复率75%）。调查证实，为使女医生毕业后能够继续培训和工作而提供的特殊援助形式不足。尽管女医生保留计划和兼职培训计划符合女性需求，但宣传不足、管理僵化且可获得性有限。女医生对咨询服务的需求未得到满足。国民保健服务机构场所内的儿童保育设施非常匮乏。如果能为女医生提供更多这些形式的实质性援助，她们对医学的贡献范围和程度将会增加。医疗注册名录是确定可能需要这种特殊援助的女性人数和去向的不可靠手段。现在的主要问题不是缺乏为女医生提供合适援助的想法，而是相关当局落实已提出的建议，以使女医生本人和国民保健服务机构都能受益。
