EBME Forums Forums Management Professional Issues VRCT registration eligibility

Does the NOS recognize BME as a trade?, I agree less is more what is wrong with the creation of an 'Institute' remove all the others and form one organizational body.

IPEM.

How many (more) do we need?

And, no ... I am not a member.

See also the Engineering Council and (possibly more interestingly) its "specs" .pdf. As you will see, there is nothing of value that VRCT adds to that (those).

Meanwhile, stuff like this is what the internet is for!

As I keep saying, Google is your (our) friend!

That is £43429 - mid band 8A. Are 10% of the UK on that salary?
Robert

I would have thought that the figure would have been higher than 10% on 43K or more!

OK guys (I know I may be a bit slow on the uptake, but ...), what are we talking about now?

Are we still talking about biomeds in the UK, or have we roamed off into the realms of society in general, or the world as a whole?

Hopefully, the remit of the VRCT doesn't yet include now plans to conquer the whole world!

@Robert: where did that quote come from, I wonder? I guess yo are looking at one of the links from the US ... where "different rules" apply when it comes to Terms and Conditions.

@Neil: even if it's as high as 50%, there are still millions of folk in general* "existing" on incomes of well under the Income Tax threshold (currently £ 8.1 k p.a.). Perhaps I had better make it clear that I'm talking about the UK here.

* Not to mention certain "unemployable" ["semi-retired" - whatever] freelance biomeds.

it came from your "this" link about BMET careers in the US.

Fair enough, Robert. But I had included that link for the "purposes of illustration" in an effort to remind folk that there is a "World of Biomed" outside the narrow confines of the likes of the VRCT (and, I dare say, AfC).

Some of the other links were included to try to establish some of the "definitions" of terms that get banded about under threads like this one. In other words, aiming to separate fact from fiction!

But if we want to start talking about salary levels (something that doesn't interest me overly much, I might say) then perhaps a new thread is warranted.

After all, we have good friends on the forum from all over the world, so perhaps it would make interesting reading, should they choose to participate.

@Neil: you can start us off, if you like!

No chance of going down the "pathway" of selecting the best person for the job, then ... regardless of origin or "politics"?

I think you'll find that's the standard declaimer after the UK use to let anybody into the country (usually low paid positions)only for them to be the first in line for the job centre when employment conditions in the UK got worse.

Have we stopped doing that now, then?

Meanwhile (and in case anyone was wondering), here is one of the many links available about the RLMT. Or, if you prefer, something a bit more official.

Also ... and turning back in the general direction of the topic ... I wonder what the VRCT has to say about possible "new membership" (registrants) from the EEA/EU?
