Rejected petition Orthopaedic Practitioners to be recognised as registered professionals by NHS
I would wish for the Government/Parliament to help ensure that Orthopaedic practitioners registered with the British Orthopaedic Association, are recognised as registered professionals within the NHS, and are offered the opportunity to develop as part of the NHS multi-professional framework
More details
In order to be employed as an orthopaedic practitioner, one must undertake on the job training, followed by a further 6 weeks at Stanmore hospital for academic teaching, and subsequent practical/verbal examination.
On completion of this training, the student is rewarded a level5/6 certificate, and is signed onto a professional register for orthopaedic practitioners under the British Orthopaedic Association.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We are not clear that this is a matter for the Government, it falls in part under the HCPC's remit which in turn falls under that of the PSA.
I also am not clear that the steps you set out to become an orthopaedic practitioner are comprehensive - I believe you also need an undergraduate medical degree and think training at Stanmore isn't obligatory (it can be taken at another hospital/institution as geographically appropriate - forgive me if I am wrong on this last point).
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
