EBME Forums Forums Management Training NHS Training of Biomedical Engineers?

"In order to get the best possible picture of the current situation can I ask that only those currently employed in the NHS today reply"

A bit too parochial, in my opinion. There are many experienced and qualified people working in the private sector who will have a valid viewpoint towards the appropriate selection, training and promotion of the Biomeds employed in the repair and servicing of "standard" medical devices within the NHS.

I would venture to suggest that Hospitals do not have training programmes for Biomeds, or demand that engineers are on the VRCT.
Only Management or individuals within Biomed Departments set the training programmes, or indeed specify entry criteria to follow their own agenda's, so to speak.
