No, you're right Martyn, but there must be a 'third way'. We had Prof
Hoffman of the NEXUS studies with us for a year's sabbatical recently. I
think he had one clinical session a week in the States but was clearly
quite at home in the resus room. Yet he was also evidently an 'academic'
in terms of thinking and knowledge of the literature. Obviously we don't
have the same level of senior staffing in the UK but it does give food
for thought that academics don't have to be clinically poor.

There must be a third way , or a way and a half from current medical
practice in terms of balancing academia and practice. I have found it
extremely odd that some Nursing academics have so little exposure to
clinicla practice, but I suppose it is a symptom of the management focus
of Nurse promotion until relatively recently
