I think he was referring to me, personally, not to alienate the whole of the EBME fraternity - even though I am convinced there is a significant number working in medical engineering who may share similar concerns to mine.

Unfortunately Jim has taken my comments personally. Perhaps he is too close to the VRCT and needs to take a step back from it and listen to such comments. This aside I am certain that the VRCT panel have been working hard towards the goal of regulation and I hope they are successful - they deserve to be after putting in such effort.

However, as Paul Charles suggests I think the VRCT may have been used to push through other agendas that may not be of direct benefit to medical engineering technicians working in maintenance. Perhaps the recognised engineering registration/routes are considered more appropriate to the HPC/NHS employers/Industry.

Loud, showy, opinionated, interfering, brash, brisk, surly, offhand, etc, etc, I may be - but an inferiority complex? - I don't think so.
