Richard,

Quote: I guess VRCT is not for you because...

I havn't gone quite that far have I? Yes I have questioned what tangible benifits state regulation have (for me) and I have certainly questioned how far membership costs will rise. (because they will, certainly no one is challenging this)

I recieved (In the RAF) an excellent basic training which has instilled in me self regulation. I constantly self review my own engineering practices and training needs and act accordingly. These basics have translated into a strong sense of duty of care to any patients and staff who come into contact with any kit I've had my mitts in.

So other technicians may need regulation, but I've yet to be convinced that I do.

Best wishes

Paul.
