Notability[edit]

This is a key UK Government initiative affecting the 50,000 strong scientist workforce in the NHS.

I'm not sure why there's a question about notability, but I have expanded this article substantially since the notability tag was added - and expanded references to a good range of Government and NHS websites

The references given are all from Dept. of Health websites. I haven't yet found any WP:Secondary sources showing that the program is notable. Thanks, Shire Reeve (talk) 15:53, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm happy to fish out some sources - for example from across the medical profession - to show how significant this is to the scientific workforce and their professional bodies. I hadn't included this in my first drafting as I thought the sources I had cited were more significant and large-scale. I can add some of these to add to the breadth of sources, if that would be helpful.

Please note that these are not all 'Department of Health' websites - a number of these are (deliberately) from NHS Orgaisations. NHS organisations are independent and autonomous from the English Department of Health [1]. In particular, the reference to devolved administrations is significant - as these are entirely independent of the Department of Health.

I've also tried to make sure that references to Modernising Scientific Careers elsewhere in wikipedia - either explicit, such as in Medical Physics or implicit as in Biomedical Scientist have been made clear by linking through. Therefore I think this article adds to the value of those articles.

I've removed your deletion tag for the moment, while I add some more sources in, but I'm grateful for any other feedback if you feel those don't improve the article sufficiently. This is still a work in progress.

many thanks
