@Rob (and Chris,
et al)
On the other hand, if there
were tangible (and positive) benefits to being on the Register, no doubt folk would be happy to shell out £
50 a year!
But again I wonder ... what would (or could) such benefits possibly be?

1) A proper foundation training scheme and credible continued training "pathway" (structure)?
2) A decent newsletter ... with "technical updates"
etc.?
3) Social events ... ?
4) Assistance with job placements
5) A fund for helping biomeds in need?
6) An internet forum ... ? (now
there's a thought)!
