Attitudes To Regulation Of Non-Medical Healthcare Professionals
The research findings from the present study bear a striking similarity to those from MORI's earlier research on the regulation and revalidation of doctors. This may reflect one of the findings of the qualitative research: that even though doctors and the other professionals covered by the research are not seen as having the same roles, people seem to find it difficult to talk about non-medical healthcare professionals without also talking about doctors. They therefore fail to treat them as separate groups. This came across strongly in the focus groups, where respondents tended to focus on doctors, even when asked about non-medical healthcare professionals.

'Choice? What Choice?' Say Patients
Most people aged 40+ (around three in four) are willing to go to either NHS or private hospitals so long as they receive assurances over minimum standards of care, a MORI survey conducted for the Dept of Health, just publicly released, shows. However, awareness among this population group about the much heralded 'patient choice' agenda is currently very low: only four per cent say they know 'a great deal' about patient choice, and 15% 'a fair amount'. Conversely, two in five (41%) say they know absolutely nothing about choice in healthcare, with 39% knowing 'just a little' about it.
