I'm sure you're right, Graham.
But you're wrong about one thing there, if you don't mind me saying. I have probably visited more NHS biomed departments than most people who get on here, and have even worked in a few of them (albeit as an agency technician). I can also claim to have many years of experience in the game, not only as a "hands-on" tech, but also as a manager, contractor, project engineer, writer and all the rest. You'll just have to believe me (or not) when I say that I know a
great deal about the attitudes and skills required to succeed as a biomed tech, whether in government hospitals or anywhere else!
My comments are not meant to belittle anybody. In fact my interest is to the contrary, to encourage debate (and, hopefully) improvement in general, and promote the biomed
credo in particular.
If that ruffles a few feathers along the way, that can't be helped really. That sort of thing is in the nature of internet forums, I'm afraid.
