As many will have already pondered with recruitment, what will my department have to offer to new fresh candidates on a development pathway.
Unless I can employ suitable candidates with existing degrees that would be suitable for registration, then any opportunities for in house and progressive learning will be heavily restricted.
What happens when the NHS allow (hospital wide) internal only applications for specific posts, do I turn eager people away from learning opportunities or do I offer them a pathway to a new career with correct supervision & support arrangements.
Do I have to warn them that they may not eventually be employed (as they wont be eligable for grandfather rights) in the post if registration decrees that certain qualifications are required. Sticky business!
Meanwhile, we still need to get on with the work in hand to deliver our services.
