The privy council may issue an injunction directing any body entitled
to grant qualifications to desist from imposing upon any candidate
for examination an obligation to adopt or refrain from adopting
the practice of any particular theory of medicine or surgery as a
test or condition of admitting him to examination or granting him
a certificate; and in the event of their not complying, may order
that such body cease to have the power of conferring a right to be
registered so long as they shall continue such practice (_ib._, s. 23).
Where any person entitled to be registered applies to the registrar
of any branch council for that purpose, such registrar is required
forthwith to enter in a local register the name and place of residence,
and the qualifications in respect of which the person is so entitled
and the date of registration; and in case of the branch council for
Scotland or Ireland, to send to the registrar of the general council a
copy of the entry, and the registrar of the general council is required
to cause the same to be entered in the general register; and such
registrar is required to cause all entries made in the local register
for England to be entered in the general register (_ib._, s. 25).
No qualification is entered on the register, on the first registration
or by way of addition to a regular name, unless the registrar be
satisfied by proper evidence that the person claiming it is entitled to
it. Any appeal from the decision of the registrar may be decided by the
general council or by the council for England, Scotland, or Ireland, as
the case may be. Any entry proved to the satisfaction of such general
council or branch council to have been fraudulently or incorrectly made
may be erased from the register by an order in writing of such general
council or branch council (_ib._, s. 26).
MEDICAL REGISTER.—The registrar of the general council is required
to cause to be printed, published, and sold under the direction of
such council, every year, a correct register of the names with the
respective residences and medical titles, diplomas, and qualifications
conferred by any corporation or university or by a doctorate of the
Archbishop of Canterbury, with the dates thereof, of all persons
appearing on the general register as existing on January 1st in every
year. Such register is called the _Medical Register_, and a copy of
the _Medical Register_ for the time being is evidence that the persons
therein specified are registered according to the act, and the absence
of the name of any person from such copy is evidence, until the
contrary be made to appear, that such person is not so registered;
provided, that in the case of any person whose name does not appear
in such copy, a certified copy under the hand of the registrar of the
general council or a branch council of the entry of the name of such
person on the general or local register shall be evidence that such
person is so registered (_ib._, s. 27).
