We ahve a similar group to Bob with the difference that it is chaired by:
Mr.French - Chief Executive
he has a special interest in Medical equipment and Medical Physics issues. He is very supportive of Medical Equipment management and training. Unless you get him / her on board it will be difficult to achieve much. All replacement / new capital and revenue issues are taken by myself to the group for signing off. All discussions and disputes do take place outside that meeting. We meet 5 to 6 times a year but in case of difficulties I have direct access to him or the hospital manager.
The message is: Get your chief executive involved and you will win.
