Hi all by the way I am ex RAF (LFittNI) with many many years experience in electronics and Navigation Systems. Even in the 70's the military technology and equipment was far superior to the majority of healthcare equipment in use today. How may Nuclear Bombs have dropped on your house?... no errors there then! The training Service personnel receive is far superior to any training given to Technicians in the NHS currently as far as I have seen in my long career to date. Maybe this would explain why the Ex-Service Technician members of the NHS are able to apply themselves to Technologist work and so quickly too! Maybe all healthcare Technicians and Technologists could get their training and acreditation from the Services... now that makes more sense to me. A register proves nothing except one thing they have you by the b**ls and of course the expense.... imagine charging all the Service Men and Women to be allowed to perform their duties. As for the NHS my Military service training, basic and advanced has helped me all the way in my 26+ years working in the NHS I have what is known as transferable skills. Wow!
