Gynaecologists from both private and full-time academic practices.Participants. One hundred and eighty volunteers participated for a period of 1 year.Intervention. Each participant had to obtain a minimum of 25 points and an additional subminimum in at least two of the following practice-related categories: audit, continuing medical education (CME), self-study and research or tuition.Outcome measures. Compliance with the rules of the system and participants' comments.Results. Ten of the 180 volunteers withdrew from the study. Only 42% of the remaining 170 participants retumed their logbooks and a mere 32% their self-studyquestionnaires. The majority were in favour of self-study programmes or CME as future methods of reregistration.Conclusion.
