Makes me wonder how we've managed until now. Perhaps we've just "gotten away with it" these past forty years or so, do you reckon?
Let's face it folks, this VRCT thing is Dead in the Water now. If "they" had cracked on with it right at the beginning, articulating clearly what it was all about (or, if you like, sold the idea properly, and dare I say, with a bit more "vim and vigour"), then perhaps by this time it would have been a Done Deal.
I suggest that the whole thing should be quietly shelved. And then, perhaps in a few (or better still, ten or so) years time, some Bright Spark can come up with something similar. Meanwhile (whilst they are sitting around twiddling their thumbs), perhaps "they" could put out some "consultation documents" (or whatever) to canvas opinion amongst the biomed community.
As I have said before, I quite like the Certification (of Biomeds) model used in the USA, so why not kick off with
that idea ... ?
