Message: <blockquote data-quote="AndBreathe" data-source="post: 735638" data-attributes="member: 88961">I'm pretty certain that the reality will be that Dr Deakin was contracted to deliver a piece of work (the course), and probably a "Train the Trainer" programme, then it will have been handed over to the HCPs who routinely deliver to the likes of us.  From that point, the NHS will be licensed to deliver said course, with a license fee being payable to X-PERT Health under certain circumstances (probably per course delivered to delegates).By now Dr Deakin can say or do anything she pleases, but whilst the course remains compliant, there will be no compulsion for the NHS to require it to be changed.  She has effectively sold the course on (OK, she is likely to retain intellectual property rights on it).  A licensing arrangement is often an exceptionally profitable business model.At the point changes are required, it is likely NHS Procurement will require a tender process of some sort, which will add further months to the process, before any real engagement.  As I say, I won't be holding my breath.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
