Hi Richard,
Why is everyone getting hung up on qualifications,do you remember Tom Howell from Hope Hospital. Tom in my humble opinion was the best medical physics technician ever to walk Gods green earth what he did not know about the discipline could have been written on the back of a postage stamp Tom's was qualified to C&G level.
I could not see Tom been banded at three ,anything less than seven for Tom would have been laughable.
Before people start getting hung up they should read the guidance notes (chapter 3 of the hand book in this chapter guidance is given on how to match job descriptions to the various factors)factor two does state that a post grad cert is reqd. for band six OR EQUIVALENT EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE GAINED FROM PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND SHORT COURSES.
Know that I have got that of my chest I am going for a cup of tea and a chunky Kit Kat.
Hope you are keeping well ,how are things in sunny North Manchester.
Regards
John
