The Medical Council is reviewing possible changes in medical registration for the future. These would require major alterations in the existing statutes (Medical Practitioners Act 1968 and 1973 and amendments) and would take up to two years to implement if the changes are supported. It should be emphasised that the proposal is still only at the discussion level, and the New Zealand Medical Council is most anxious to have the plan widely reviewed by the profession. The essential changes would be the abolition of the Specialist Register and division of the Medical Register into two parts: (a) Basic section; (b) Vocational section. This new section of the Register would be indicative to the public of competence for independent practice, for this is the reason for the publication of a register.
医学委员会正在审查未来医学注册可能发生的变化。这些变化将需要对现行法规（1968年和1973年《医生法》及其修正案）进行重大修改，如果这些变化获得支持，实施起来将耗时长达两年。应当强调的是，该提议目前仍仅处于讨论阶段，新西兰医学委员会非常希望该计划能得到业内广泛审查。主要的变化将是取消专科医生注册，并将医生注册分为两部分：(a) 基础部分；(b) 职业部分。注册的这一新部分将向公众表明具备独立执业的能力，因为这就是公布注册信息的原因。
