Hardie, Alexander Mein
To be filled in by a Practitioner not holding a Commission
REGISTRATION FORM
MEDICAL RECRUITING SCHEME - 1916
General Practitioner Panel
At the call of the local War Committee for my area, as instructed by the
Scottish Medical Service Emergency Committee, I am prepared to render the service
or services marked above. This offer is subject to the condition that, in the event
of such service requiring me to leave my present work, I am enabled to make
arrangements for having it carried in during my absence.
[Note at bottom with a section underlined in red] I have not as yet signed on for Lieut RAMC (General Service) as I am willing to offer my services as such only when unmarried doctors are called upon first, as under the group system in Lord Denley's Scheme, also the practice here could not be properly worked from the central medical office in Dundee as it is too outlying for city doctors to work efficiently. The major portion of my practice is private and it would suffer unduly in my absence more in proportion than panel practice which is at present legally protected. I am also medically unfit for general service but not for home service. Letter attached.
To be returned to
The Secretary,
Scottish Medical Service Emergency Committee,
Royal College of Physicians,
Edinburgh.
