The nominations for 2013 so far:
Nominee: The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency
Nominated by: Dr Peter Arnold
Date: 21/12/2012
I would like to nominate the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency, which has replaced the Medical Boards of all the states and territories. It has just sent out its latest newsletter, in which it propagates its views about the re-validation of medical practitioners, the competence of medical practitioners, the maintenance of up-to-date standards and all of that “good stuff”.
At the same time, nonsense about acupuncture appears on pages 8 – 9 of the newsletter. Surely this is utter garbage from a supposedly scientific, ‘standards’, and ‘competence’ organisation. How can anyone be competent in something which doesn’t work!
Surely this is as bad as the universities’ teaching this stuff and should also be exposed.
