At last, Doctors will be checked. It has always amazed me that they don't have some formal set-up whereby they know, their employers know, and more importantly the public know that they are safe, up to date practitioners. Midwives have a supervisory body who are there for that purpose and every year we are subjected to an 'interview' where we have to produce evidence of continuing study, use notes to prove record keeping, and are generally assessed for our 'fitness to practice'.

midwifemuse / Website (14.7.06 14:39) I didn't know surveyors and architects had to be assessed. When I think about it though it makes sense. The rule about docs hasn't been agreed yet, it's up for consultation, and then it will only be every 5 years, still better than nothing. |
