Here you are, Chris:-
All migrants must be paid the appropriate salary rate, to ensure that the resident labour market is not undercut.
But ... just to be clear:-
Resident Labour Market:- the pool of workers who qualify as resident workers. A resident worker is a person who is a national of the European Economic Area (EEA) or is legally settled in the United Kingdom with permission to work here.
European Economic Area (EEA):- consists of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, the Republic of Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the UK. Although Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway are not members of the European Union (EU), their citizens have the same rights as EU citizens to enter, live in and work in the UK.
So hopefully everyone on here shall now be in no doubt about where their next technicians are coming from.

I'm sure these things can be arranged.

I am sure you can get one from an on-line US "university".
My spelling is not bad. I am typing this on a Medigenic keyboard and I blame that for all my typos.

Upon hearing the exciting news that "CRB checks" have now become " DBS checks" (and why not?) ... I am prompted to enquire:- Does the VRCT process involve a "DBS check"?  And (if so):- 1) Does any conviction result in rejection? 2) What about "cautions"?* 3) What happens when applicants are from "overseas"? * You know, for dropping a sweet wrapper, or having your wheelie bin one inch out of line?

You'll find the answer in the link you supplied.
Regulators of professional registers like the GMC can make DBS checks and submit evidence to the DBS (actually the DBS has no investigatory powers at all)
The VRCT isn't on the DBS list of professional regulators so at the moment it doesn't have these powers or rights.
Also you've got the fact that a DBS check costs more than membership of the VRCT.

So yet again I find myself wondering:- what is the point of any of it? I admit as well to being a little disappointed that, despite these constant and on-going opportunities that we present on here, we rarely (if ever) hear from the VRCT leadership. Surely we are providing ample scope for them to reply, and actually try and sell the thing to the UK biomed fraternity?
