While the transition to agenda for change is still underway (i.e. transition points are still in use) it would certainly overcome this problem but I haven't heard of any Trust using it for a ebme department. Annex U also states that someone training for less than 12 months would not pass the first gateway. I'm sure the new guy wouldn't like it but isn't it possible that he could remain at the first gateway whilest training and the existing guy leap frog him?
Geoff if all NHS hiring was done centrally it would certainly improve things, at the moment it seems to be more like a national consortium of Trusts all acting like individual companies, than a National Health Service and the outcome of how AFC is implemented changes between Trust. (Then again even patient treatment is different between Trusts)
Although I do think we need more information before we can draw any conclusions from SLR's post, like which bands are the people on and what band did the existing guy want to be rebanded to?
