Whichever documents are cited ... and there may be many ... I still maintain that Clinical Engineers need to be able to:-
1) Make equipment purchasing recommendations to senior management.
2) Draw up clear equipment specifications against which prospective suppliers can bid.
3) Make sensible interventions when equipment maintenance contracts are being drawn up.
Assuming, of course, that Engineers have the "strength of character" to ensure that their views get heard.
All require an ability to absorb (often too many) pages of "detail" and condense these down into concise, clear requirements (or perhaps, policy directives).
