We had an unfortunate trainee who was refused his Obs accreditation by his
Obs&Gyn consultant :-( No I don't like him, and neither do the patients I
sent him. Quite a large MCP. He's off my referral and christmas card list.
So the trainee *has* fufilled his accreditation by the "old" method at
another hospital.
