Epilepsy12 Letter

For those who were involved in the epilepsy12 programme ANS have been sent a letter which will be of interest.


Statutory Regulation for Physiologists

Open Letter to Anne Milton (Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Health)

The RCCP continue to lobby Parliament to ensure the public are protected from technicians working without the appropriate skills. ANS wish to publicise that there is no statutory regulation for Clinical Physiologists in the UK. Although the voluntary register has merit, ANS and RCCP are calling for compulsory registration for all Clinical Physiologists working in your NHS.


Lobby Your MP with EDM 1352

RCCP are still working hard on our behalf to push through statutory regulation of Clinical Physiologists in the United Kingdom.
The work YOU have done already has been invaluable but we need to maintain the pressure on our local MPs in order for them to let government understand our feelings.
We understand how busy individuals are in all specialities so ANS have written a script to write the letter on your behalf. There is an opportunity to personalise the letter before it is printed out.
No personal information will be saved by the ANS server or by ANS.


Workforce Review 2011

This tool is designed to identify the national picture of our service demands in order to profile our requirement for training. As you know MSC is pushing forward. As Neurophysiology has not historically had a Scientist training scheme we want to make sure DH understand how many of our workforce currently work at this level. This will be the information we then present to commission future training places at STP level and upwards. It is therefore extremely important that this information is filled in accurately for all departments across the country. I would like to thank you all for your help with this project.
