Awww Colleen, we care! .

Ladybuggs... Yes, I pulled in the driveway and they were swarming the front

deck. I went to walk thru the doorway and got hit in the head by one. LOL

I had them inside the house in the sunroom skylights but not on my counter.

Your kitchen is much more sunnier than mine is tho. Prolly warmer too.

Well all, it is Friday. No kidding right?!!! Secret Santa answers

are due back today. So far I've got 22 questionaires back. If I

don't hear from the last 2 people I emailed privately before I send

the answers out tomorrow I'm going to have to drop you for this year,

sorry.

I don't have a craft show tomorrow, but I've got lots of stuff to do.

Like you all care I'm sure! LOL! But my point in telling you that

is that I will send answers out by 9pm Saturday night. If you don't

get them, please email me on Sunday.

On to other things-Anyone else being bombarded by ladybugs today? Oh

my goodness, the weather warmed up & here they all are! I've got

about 20 of them I've got to vacuum up off my kitchen windowsill.

Yuck! Then there's all the ones crawling all over the wall & the

counter. Ugh!

Kitty news- still thinks we aren't keeping the kittens.

has other plans though, and so does mommy! Tiger has been coming out

on her own when Fluffy is out. Scooter is still too afraid to venture

out. I can even distinguish between the two kittens meows!

clients.

the Level 1 DVD material we shot at the end of my trip and getting my

e-mail box caught up.

3. My plan at present is to stay in Miami through July and most of August

(the most pleasant time of the year here?!). There is a group coming from

Europe to train for a week, and there are several folks who have expressed

an interest in coming to Miami for small-group trainings. I'll be happy

to

set these up now that I'm back. Please contact me if you are interested

and let me know training levels and dates that would work for you.

4. There are also groups in Atlanta, Boston/Cape Cod, NYC, Dallas/Forth

Worth and central Ohio who expressed interest in training this Fall. I'll

probably start the last week in August and train through September. In

October I plan to be back in Brasil to see my son and his family, 's

family and some South American friends. So if you are interested in any

of

these sites, please let me know ASAP, so I can see which of them we can

put

together in the early Fall.

5. As we prepare the DVD's and website, I've been asked if there were

those among you who were willing to provide any comments for attribution

on

the trainings you've taken with me. A simple statement of your level of

knowledge and involvement with NF, your reaction to the training (also in

relation to others you may have taken) and how it has completely

transformed your life (just kidding) would be appreciated. You don't get

a

will visit you if you don't.

I appreciate everyone's patience, and I look forward to getting back into

the dialogue.

I finished the first class. It was a half term course. Now I am working on the fall quarter courses.

I am still doing daycare. I will continue doing it until I graduate, which is in about nine months or so.

I am just hanging out today. Tummy is a little rumbly, so I really don't feel like studying or cleaning-which are my choices today.

Have a good day ladies.

Dear GAil, I am so sorry to hear about what you and are going through. My heart aches about the phamton shocks. They are so horrible and take us back to square one so fast. Everytime I have had an extreme episode they have come back. I know since my husbands heart attack how hard it is for a man to be ill and except the can't do all they did before and sometimes no matter how careful we are we become the targets of their anger. Plese know that I keep you in my thoughts and send you warm hugs and prayers.

Reference the Dip ROM, what sort of time scale are you looking for doing the

course, how will it relate in qualification terms, just to get an idea of

the scope of the qualification will this be of relevence when applying for a

first time post or will the catch 22 scenario still rear its ugly head, finally

will it be availiable towards Military resetlement. Sorry for the posing

questions just trying to get a handle on the course and maybe an outline of its

contents.

Thanks Gaz Rothwell

[Guest guest]

Mr. Boardman,

I was wondering if you have had the opportunity to evaluate the CV I

sent. I am very interested in the DipROM and I am afraid the US does

not have a program even close.

I do understand you are a very busy man and I apologize for any

inconvenience.

Kindest Regards,

[Guest guest]

I have no issue with the first two and hope to participate when my rota

permits. However the notion of a Professional Body is one I find difficult to

get enthusiastic about.

The role of the offshore/remote medic is very diverse and driven by corporate

requirements. Some are doing admin., some safety, some in places like Iraq are

solely medics. How would a prosfessional body represent everybody, would the

companies even recognise it? They often pay little attention to governments and

international opinion so why should they listen to a group of medics? What if

someone else sets up another body due to ideological differences( as is always

the case) ?

I'm already a member of the RCN which provides me with certain benefits and

support, though I'm not sure if they have a remote medic group withing their

structure, and don't really feel the need to belong to another.

It is worth discussing though.

Gaz,

We are probably looking towards 2-3 years to

complete the course. In total there is 1200 hours

of study broken down over 10 compulsory and 2

optional modules. Each of these units is broken

down into 5 units of 20 hours each. 4 of the units

form the taught component of each module, each

ending with an multiple choice and the 5th is the

assessment. If all 5 are passed, then the student

has cleared that module. All the course will be

available online and assessed through the same

medium too, although there will be a lot of work

to do in your own time to write up papers etc.

The course is post graduate and can be extended to

an MSc after completion if the student still has

any willpower left

We will investigate if this can be availanble via

resettlement.

The current syllabus is at

http://www.remotemedics.co.uk/diprom.php .

However, this is in the process of a minor

re-write, but the 90% is still correct.

Cheers,

Ross

-Hi All,

Just Some points.

1)Would it be possible to run a BSS in Scotland? The skills covered

medics know them already but it is great to practice them and keep

clinical skills up to date.

2)DipRom sounds quite good. Hopefully i will do it when it is up and

running. Any thing that improves you as a medic is always worth while.

3)Professional Body - Don't know about this one. Some companies might

recognise it some won't. As it is still in the planning stage

hopefully this point will be resolved in time before the Body is

launched onto the scene.

Regards to all,

.

Hi Gordon,

There would be three piles on the table:

1 Those with qualifications and experience in

remote medicine

This would cover most of the guys on this list.

2 Those with higher qualifications but no present

experience in remote medicine

More than likely to be doctors who are looking

into remote medicine as a future component of

their careers

3 Those with neither qualification nor experience

We can name a few of these

All of pile 1 would be welcomed aboard. Each

candidate in pile 2 will be considered on their

own merits and may get panel voted or interviewed.

The panel will be 3 or 5 people and a majority

vote will put the prospect into pile 1. Pile 3 is

more than likely to be rejected.

Hope that clears it up.

Cheers,

Ross

Hi Guys

1: I would like to see the BSS course run in Glasgow,

2.Excellent news about the course, will look forward to it with anticipation,

will certainly keep it as an otion.

3. I feel that a professional body would be a good idea, as a member of the

NMC, I get all the benefits from this organisation e.g representation, legal

aid, but most importantly a code of conduct to work within. As a profession, and

thats what we are, a profession allied to medicine remote medics need this form

of organisation. As a nurse, if the worst happened, and my practice is safe and

within guidelines and protocols laid down by the NMC, then I can stand up in

court and say so, with the backing of the NMC. Remote medics can only utilise

whatever individual professional body we are members of, or rely on medical

indemnity policies. The above do not, and would not carry the same clout as a

professional body with clear protocols and guidelines, with all the members

intrests at heart. I also think the t-shirt would look cool on holiday.

Folks,

A lot of things tend to drop together at the same

time and often after much silence. This update is

to try and gauge some feelings and opinions from

you, the members.

1 Basic surgical skills course.

We are going to run these once each year, the next

being at Keele Hall 6-8 Sept 2004. You get a

manual, basic surgical instrument kit and three

days of excellent, immersive and in depth tuition

with a certificate of attendance and CPD from

RCS(Ed). Our new training advisor, Mr

MD DMI FRCS(Gen.Surg) is the course author and

senior instructor. The course is very intensive

and past students will tell you that we expect

high standards from all students attending.

2 DipROM.

The Diploma of Remote and Offshore Medicine is

still under development and we are looking at a

launch date of July 2005 to coincide with the

500th Anniversary of RCS(Ed). This has been a very

long term project for us and we are looking

forward to seeing our first batch of graduates

come through in the next couple of years.

3 Professional recognition

We have the opportunity to explore a value for

money membership body for remote medics, first in

the UK and then once we have learnt the lessons

and firmed up our network, then globally.

Basically, we aim to able to provide basic

certification of a persons qualification,

experience and identity, representation and

credibility for a diverse and geographically

spread bunch of medics. We don't want to offer

discounts, insurance, cheap curtains or any other

filler, but to give a good professional service

via an already established body.

candidate in pile 2 will be considered on their

own merits and may get panel voted or interviewed.

The panel will be 3 or 5 people and a majority

vote will put the prospect into pile 1. Pile 3 is

more than likely to be rejected.

Hope that clears it up.

Cheers,

Ross

Hi Jim,

Surely there is some confusion in your last post? If by your

reference to the 'NMC' you mean Nursing and Midwifery Council then

this is the governing body that lays down the professional guidelines

for Nurses. It is the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) or UNISON who

would provide benefits, or professional/legal representation and not

the NMC. It is the NMC that keeps the register of nurses and

midwives, and can decide whether an individual is struck off. RCN or

UNISON would be the professional organisation defending a member

under such circumstances.

Regards,

Ged H.

anticipation, will certainly keep it as an otion.

> 3. I feel that a professional body would be a good idea, as a

member of the NMC, I get all the benefits from this organisation e.g

representation, legal aid, but most importantly a code of conduct to

work within. As a profession, and thats what we are, a profession

allied to medicine remote medics need this form of organisation. As

a nurse, if the worst happened, and my practice is safe and within

guidelines and protocols laid down by the NMC, then I can stand up in

court and say so, with the backing of the NMC. Remote medics can only

utilise whatever individual professional body we are members of, or

rely on medical indemnity policies. The above do not, and would not

carry the same clout as a professional body with clear protocols and

guidelines, with all the members intrests at heart. I also think the

t-shirt would look cool on holiday.
