Isabel Nisbet. The Bed Pan Qualifications of the Wicked Snow Queen

"Those who are not qualified to clean bed-pans in an NHS hospital are ruling the roost and regulating doctors and medical specialists"
An NHS Doctor

Yesterday, I wrote about the Wicked Snow Queen's conduct in relation to me. Of course, my colleague kindly points out that Isabel Nisbet has had an interesting journey to the corridors of power. Nisbet's Wicked Snow Queen image has been built up all by herself. She was in the Telegraph again. Here is what they said

"She [Isabel Nisbet] said: "The best thing is for young people to do the exams when they planned to do it, because they’ve been working all over the holidays for them and you can see that’s part of their learning plan."

Pupils unable to attend their examinations may have to rely on an estimated grade based on their overall performance.

But there was widespread concern last night that this might put those who are particularly good at final exams at a disadvantage and rob them of crucial grades needed to get into the university of their choice.

Even those who managed to battle through the snow and ice said the adverse weather had badly affected their preparations with thousands of homes suffering power cuts in the days before the exams.

Shane Chowen, the National Union of Students' Vice President for Further Education said the disruption caused to A-level pupils as a result of the bad weather was adding to stress of exams and could affect their performance.

He said: "We urge universities to put in place contingency plans to ensure that no applicant is disadvantaged because of the current bad weather."

So, Isabel is being unreasonable and impractical. Thats nothing new. Essentially, she is being the mean old bat we know her to be. She fits the image as well with her poorly cut hair , her school marm glasses and her poor intellect. Clearly, her position as head crackpot at the General Medical Council taught her nothing about style.

My colleague has kindly done some homework for me. Clearly, he was stuck in the snow today with his laptop superglued to his fingers.

This is what he had to say about the Wicked Snow Queen.

"And that is not all. Isabel Nisbet has also sat on the governing board of the General Council for the Bar at least until 2007"

Moreover, here is the statement Ms Nisbet gave to the Shipman inquiry

' I am the Acting Director of the Council for the Regulation of Healthcare Professionals ("the Council). I have been seconded to the Council from theGeneral Medical Council {"the GMC") since 24 March 2003 and will remain on secondment to the Council until March 2004.'

Ed Note - The Council for the Regulation of Healthcare Professionals formally known as CHRP and and affectionately known as CR*P oversees the performance of the General Medical Council. Despite record numbers of complaints against the GMC, the CHRP now known as the CHRE [ due to obvious reasons and insults hurled in its way] ruled that the General Medical Council was doing an excellent job. CHRP/CHRE of course does little apart from paper flick. The staff from the General Medical Council abuse their power then shift to a different organisation. This is of course what happened to Isabel Nisbet. Despite a judge ruling that her conduct was like a totalitarian regime in Pal v GMC 2004, she continued to progress forward.

My colleague continues :-

Here is another one of her 'achievements' as she manipulated herself into the position of Chief Executive of the Council for the Regulation of Healthcrare Professionals in Jul 09

'PMETB will ‘go live’ on 30th September 2005 and a ‘launch event’ is being planned for 11 October in London.

The Chief Executive of PMETB is Paul Streets OBE, John Tuck is Director of Finance, and the newly-appointed Chair is Prof Peter Rubin. Pro Rubin chaired his first meeting of the Board on 17th June and at this meeting the College’s Medical Education Adviser, Dr Gareth Holsgrove, gave a presentation on Workplace Based Assessment. Isabel Nisbet, former Director of Operations and Standards, took up her new Chief Executive post at the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority on 4th July. PMETB will shortly be moving to its new home at Hercules House (near Waterloo, in London).'

My colleague goes onto finally say :-

This proves that Nisbet is close to 'Prof' Rubin the spirit of Finlay Scott lives---those who are not qualified to clean bed-pans in an NHS hospital are ruling the roost and regulating doctors and medical specialists.

NB Many thanks for the additional intelligence provided by a good friend and colleague.
