In response to Jim at the VRCT, earlier this year (August 2005), I was asking for information regarding registration and FACTS about what was/is happening, Quotes from his reply are below:

May I respond to your email by indicating that the definitive facts about regulation are all in the public domain. There is not a "select few" who withhold information or send out inaccurate information.
Unfortunately, a representative of the HPC has misunderstood how the process of regulation of Clinical Technologists is proceeding. Hence the inaccurate information currently being circulated.
Therefore it was a select few as HPC didn't know what Jim alledgedly knew.

I should stress at this point that I believe it is the plan of the Department of Health to regulate all healthcare professions - non-regulation is not an option.
I also understand that the public consultation will be beginning in the next few months.
I KEEP ON SAYING I WANT FACTS!!!!
Are these facts or beliefs or guess work (the time has passed for it to be the next few months)

"Thanks for sight of this (copy of the email between BW EBME and KS of HPC) . I will speak to HPC but it remains the case that currently we expect Clinical Technologists will go forward in the first tranche of HCS to be regulated in 2006."
Please inform your colleague that he now needs to panic!!!
Why should we panic about joining a VOLUNTARY register.
When registration is required and if it is with the corrupt HPC we can join through the grandparenting route and not need any involvement with the VRCT.
As the VRCT are a VOLUNTARY body who represent a small minority of staff within the EBME community and probably less than 1% in private industry how can they express the views of this group of staff. YOU DO NOT REPRESENT ME!!!!
I also felt I was being attacked for questioning such an authority on EBME work and departments as Mr Methven.
GIVE ME FACTS!!!
Ps Merry Christmas to all
