Sir,-How many GDPs know about this NVQ? How many care about it? How many are involved in it? We should all know and care about it. I think the introduction of the NVQ is good.

Unfortunately, in my view the Record of Assessment handbook is abysmal. I understand that the GDC has tasked Skills for Health with looking at the problems with the NVQ.

May I strongly urge those of our colleagues who are in some way involved with the NVQ and are unhappy with it, to write to Skills for Health with their views, that is the only way change is likely to be brought about.
