RE: RE: Re: Registration Authority

[Guest guest]

,

It would be very doubtful if such a thing could get off the ground. Gaining

national recognition for a medical specialty is one thing, but international and

it's no-go. There would be political and financial burdens which would make this

arduous at best.

I spent 8 years designing, developing and launching the world's first remote

medical postgrad course, almost single handedly. There was a lot of politics,

backstabbing, but eventually it got there and the first students have now

graduated. My recognition and reward for this? Sod all apart from getting

sidestepped from my role and out of the decision process.

Not trying to put a downer on registration, it's going to be very much an uphill

struggle of hearts and minds.

All the best,

Ross

Fwd: RE: Re: Registration Authority

How much certification do you need. How much will this cost, will this be a

closed shop?

What would be classed as Continuous Educational Development?

Would Occ Health count or Scaffold Inspection?

I have to self-fund ! - how much will it cost to those who are not on European

pay?

Should the organisation be run just by Remote Medics - like the Royal College of

Nursing or the Bar Council?

Or will it be run by people who do not do our job.

Is it there to enter into business relationships and make money?

Re: Registration Authority Hi These are the

two that I am aware of:

Institute of Remote HealthCare (IRHC) -

[7]http://www.irhc.org.uk/ Australasian

Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (AREMT) - [8]http://www.aremt.com.au/

The AREMT is not a `pure' remote/offshore/austere environment registry although

it does seem to provide quite a bit of focus for these areas and any other

international work areas.

Do also see the comments by Bear and Grant as I think they are valid issues for

both of these organizations. That said I do feel this is a step in the right

direction at least and both organizations have made quite a bit of headway since

their inception.
