Do interested parties or representatives from the VRCT, DoH, NHS, HPC, etc, etc have any comments with regard to this concern posted a while back?

I hope the VRCT has not just been a means of presenting the HPC with justification of a need to regulate the profession, with an ulterior motive of advancing Medical Physics, by using EBME and other engineering departments and interest from other sources to boost numbers then once regulation is on the way EBME the others are cast-off because regulation is "unworkable". We need more reassurance and input from VRCT, HPC and employers and consultation on this issue as Kevin Haylett has already commented on.
Somehow, after reading Dr Haylett's report on the meeting of 17th Oct 2005 RE: the process of registration of medical engineers under the framework of "Clinical Technologists", I think there may have been an element of truth in this statement.
