H'mmm. The notion of
user servicing (as in servicing
by the user). Now, that takes me back a bit, I must say. It was an idea that was officially promoted in British Military Hospitals (remember those, anybody?) thirty years ago. "They" were even meant to fill in simple record sheets to declare that the tasks had been carried out (not that a scribbled signature proved much, of course)!
Can't see that catching on in today's NHS hospitals, Richard (more's the pity). Although, let me stress, personally I'm all for the units taking
total responsibility for
their equipment, and calling upon the biomeds for service only (
ie, rather than assuming that the biomeds are taking care of everything). How many nurses (users)? How many biomeds?
