Yes. The same essential is in my JD - which is what so amused me, in a twitter & bisted kinda way.... cheers - Zena Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time, and it annoys the pig -----Original Message----- From: UK medical/ health care library community / information workers [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Alan Fricker Sent: 13 December 2007 13:24 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [LIS-MEDICAL] Reimbursement of professional membership fee This is an interesting point. It is worth noting that HLG is preparing a letter to the "Review body for Nursing and other Health Professions" which is where we sit pay negotiating council wise in the post Whitley world. We can certainly include something about the potential for this reimbursement in that communication.
