Greetings all,
Hi Sparky-hope you are well! I do agree entirely, I have been lucky enough to have worked alongside some superb practitioners (and learnt loads from them!) who for me at least, personified the term "professional". I must admit however that those little cherished moments of mine (background violins please) were rare against a background of muppetry (theme tune please) on the rampage. Enter Dirty Dave (figuratively speaking[:I]) who I have worked with on a number of occasions... it is all too apparent that shoddy work is the norm rather than the exception when a huddle of circuit field workers get together. It is thoroughly depressing to hear an entire team swap horror stories that all have the same fundamental basis. Dirty Dave and I simply could not believe what we were seeing. Back to topic....of course we all have to take responsibility-no question. But that responsibility (as units/individuals/ a profession) has to be enshrined in one single unambiguous set of standards that all must adhere to as a prerequisite to practice. Quite simply, sign up, do what it says on the tin or expect to be struck from the register. Whilst 1Man1desk` poll will inevitably result in a timely assessment of broad opinion (bout time too!), its also prompting serious dialogue across the range of flavours. I really do hope that people (organisations/units etc) are listening.......:face-approve: and voting!:face-stir:
