520			_aThis article interrogates the relationship between registration, the professions, and modern crises, using the Medical Register as an illustration. We start by surveying briefly the history of the regulation of health workers in the United Kingdom to contextualise the mechanisms of registers and registration. Under the initial model of registration, one could be in or out of the ‘principal list’, and various routes enabled health practitioners to obtain full registration and its ensuing privileges. That model still influences ordinary understandings of registration, but the paper identifies other categories of registration emerging in the middle of the 20th century, starting with the international crisis of the Second World War and up until the recent coronavirus pandemic. Drawing on historical and contemporary work, we show that there are multiple ways one can be on the Register, with some more precarious than others. In turn, we debunk the idea of the Register as a document immune from political choices and instead shed light on the details of its intimate engagement with modern forms of governance. – Reproduced https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/09646639231178878
