EBME Forums Forums Management Professional Issues VRCT renewal time

One of the founding principles of the VRCT was to demonstrate that people in the profession work to recognisable personal standards of practice. Furthermore, through regulation there is an ability to give assurances to patients, the general public and employers that Clinical Technologists have safe and coherent standards of professional practice. Not to join, when you are eligible to do so, may be interpreted by some as an indication that you are unsure whether you can meet and maintain the standards. Or, that you don’t believe that patients, the general public and employers have the right to seek assurances about your profession through a regulation process similar to, or the same as, the regulation processes followed by the majority of colleagues working in healthcare.
