600? I thought it was more like 200! Could it be 600 hospitals? Eight biomeds in each hospital, John (on average)? No way!

Rick reckoned on 1,400 techs. Grahame said 1,500 to 2,000. And I would say 1,750 max (and I wouldn't be surprised if it's as few as 1,200). Now you're saying 4,800? My Goodness! But maybe you're right. But someone must know the actual figure, surely?

Perhaps we should have a competition to see who gets closest. £ 1 apiece in the pot? smile

I'm not sure how you can work it out we have about 40 technical staff but some other trusts have none! My thoughts were between 3K and 5K.
Why do you want to know Geoff?

I thought that if they all sent me a £ 2 Postal Order, then I could pay my rent for a year. Are you saying that 50 p apiece might do it, then, Bill? wink

Geoff , you are right, i am wrong, There are less than 200 acute trusts. The figure i had in my head must have bee 'Trusts' including others such as PCT, Mental health. smile

I don't know how many of "us" there are in the UK, but if you ask how many of us work here my response will always be "about half".
