Just put in traffic lights and a zebra crossing outside the village hall. Problem solved.

Oh wait, that would cause traffic on the A49 between Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton? Oh noes, what will people do.

Yeah…that’s an overly simplistic understanding of the process.

From the article: "The BMA’s findings provoked a furious response from the Royal College of Nursing. A RCN spokesperson said: “Advanced nursing practice is highly skilled, delivered by expert registered nurses and is underpinned by a masters level education and a comprehensive range of knowledge, skills and capabilities.

“These nurses are central to the delivery of safe and effective care across many services. They are not substitutes for other professions. They are autonomous professionals, delivering complex care as part of multi-disciplinary teams.”

Obnoxious is an interesting description of the BMA.
