1. Doctors who nothing are isolated like Robinson Crusoe on a desert island. They first wake up when they are in trouble. No organisation will assist you for a problem that arose before the date you joined. You are like the owner of an uninsured house that has burned down, You are trying to buy an insurance policy after the destruction and expecting the company to retrospectively pay for the house with just one premium! This is impossible. We have seen many doctors' careers ruined. You should join us in advance to ensure there is someone to turn to.
2. Prevention is better than cure. Most locums wake up too late. Problems are like cancer. They must be identified early and campaigned against before the disaster falls. The CCST is a good lesson here. LDA was founded in 1997. Calmanisation was introduced before that. Our views were not given since no other body represents our sincere interests. Our fight for mediated entry is against a brick wall solidly constructed. Before implementation it was much easier to influence the soft foundation material and have the wall built to suit our special needs. We are however making sure this does not happen again. Certainly not with revalidation.
