VRCT may well die when all the trusts sign 30 year managed service contracts so all their current medical physics and EBME staff are then transferred to the managed service provider.
Then IPEM will have little say in the process as you can be sure the big companies will not allow restricted practices to continue!
Having those who work within the medical environment registered, HPC style, is a good idea to stop rouge individuals from endangering others but there is no need for such strict educational requirements, as these have little to do with ultimate patient safety. Basically only those who have mental health or competency issues, which are reported to the registration body, should be excluded from working on medical equipment and within the medical environment.
