The default position is that doctors have constantly to be watched, inspected, soon revalidated (whatever that is supposed to be). The public do on the whole regard doctors quite positively as a group but unfortunately some individuals are less appreciated. What will now happen to them? Will they be allowed to continue working if 360 degree appraisal is not favourable? How many degrees do you have to lose?Unfortunately the colleagues who have constructed this, among others, really fancy themselves as leaders and often go on courses to be better leaders. Clearly if Wellington or Churchill  had done this they would have been really successful.
