keeping/maintaining of consultation register
Rather than making adjustement and suggestions to existing posts, in order to make clearer what I am actually suggesting!
keep, maintain : for register, record, log etc.
register : rather than log (although may be more common in non UK locations). I would avoid "record" in this medical context, as risk of confusion with "medical record", which is the patient's medical history, medical file, which this is clearly not.

maintenance of the consultation log
It seems to refer to the "agent" when describing the upkeep of the record.
"A young agent without a defined career path will be difficult to keep, thus we recommend to the Health Ministry offering those who've demonstrated technical skills and aptitude in maintaining the consultation log the possibility of becoming a nurse's assistant".

: "Book-keeping" is more appropriate for accounts and your illustrative sentence is wrong as "book-keeping" is an activity, not a concrete object.// It is, of course, still a noun!

That's right. "Book-keeping" is more used for accounting. But the meaning is" tenue de" =keeping up to date the register of(accounts, consultation, etc.)See Collins Roberts FR-EN dict. page 1005.2nd meaning of "tenue",which is a noun.

: Agree with B D Finch, as "book-keeping" is a specific accounting activity. Keeping/maintaining (gerund) wld work well.

keeping medical records
"Medical records" probably makes most immediate sense.

: Concise and fits well in that unpunctuated French sentence.

: "Medical record" for me includes something much more extensive and complete (medical history) than a register of consultations. A bit risky.
