Cheers for the heads up Chris!
Original posters statement also slated on Medical Physics Engineering mailbase.
Interesting read, google then register
"I think we all support formal regulation for all Healthcare professions and it is long overdue.
However I do find that such statements as "....thousands of patients a year are being put at risk by being subjected to sensitive and potentially harmful procedures by unregulated professionals" is rather scaremongering, could easily be misinterpreted and is almost disrespectful to the highly professional colleagues we work with who through no fault of their own do not have state registration"
Sort of confirms some of the objections stated so eloquently here.
So its not just us Biomeds who question this then. Comforting indeed....
