I am sure we all know of Clinical Scientists and MLSOs who have registered with the General Medical Council (Are you there Joe?) after completing the appropriate training as required by statute. There are also very many medical practitioners and MLSOs who have the qualifications and experience to register with the Registration Council of Scientists in Health Care BUT ARE EXCLUDED BECAUSE THEY HAVE ADDITIONAL QUALIFICATIONS. The argument that it is unlawful to be listed on more than one indicative register is certainly novel. It would be interested to see how whoever gave that advice justified it. BTW Has anyone considered how article 11 might apply to the ACB membership itself??
