Hi B,

See ATOS's web-page regarding HCP training :

www.atoshealthcare.com/index.php?option=...ew&id=126&Itemid=425

An ATOS HCP (ADA) could be a nurse, midwife, physiotherapist, occupational therapist or doctor.

They only have to use doctor's for specific conditions.

cheers

Hi B,

Also see the NMC website here :

www.nmc-uk.org/General-public/Reporting-...-midwife-to-the-NMC/

Re: complaining, you can also check the Nurse/Midwife on the register from that site.

cheers

Can I ask, what are the specific conditions they must use a doctor for? Does it have to be a doctor or does it have to be a specific specialist for some conditions please? Or just point me at a link where I can learn all this, I'm sure there'll be one :-)

Hi BK,

I am not absolutely sure, I think they have to use a doctor for certain neurological conditions.

Maybe one of the other Mods could enlighten you further. :)
