MTAS - what next?
It is, I suppose some sort of journalistic coup that, shortly after Dr Crippen phoned Mike Clement, the MTAS Project Manager at the DoH, the decision was taken to close down the MTAS site.
There was no alternative.
Today's news, revealed in NHS BLOG DOCTOR, that it was possible for doctors to access each other's applications and personal information by simply inputting a random number was a gross breach of data security. The MTAS site had to be closed to protect that information, to protect the doctors.
A lesser concern, but still an important one, is that this breach of data security may result in a criminal prosecution against the MTAS administrators. Maybe even against the blessed Patricia herself.
And now a trivial matter. Or a matter that seems consistently to be treated as trivial by the department. What happens to the doctors? MTAS, for all its failings, is their source of information about forthcoming interviews and appointments. There is nowhere else for them to turn.
A young doctor writes to RemedyUK to ask:
So, after a further breach of confidentiality today the DoH have shut MTAS down to investigate the problem. That's all very well but if a load of us are supposed to be interviewed next week how are we supposed to nowOh! Great! Who does this doctor ask? Who does he phone? There are thousands of young doctors in exactly the same position.
a) find out whether we have an interview
b) find out exactly when and where that interview will be held
c) select an interview slot
Correct me if I am wrong but MTAS was the only way to do all of those things. I think some people were sent emails letting them know they had been invited for an interview but the vast majority were not.
The provisional dates for my interviews have been given as next Wednesday and Thursday but this has not been updated since we were allowed to change preferences and I don't know what to do next.
Maybe they should try:
Mike Clement
MTAS project manager.
Workforce Directorate
Department of Health
Working differently

You need to go through long distances sometimes, making you buy a lot of Teleport scrolls with your Rose zuly just to go to the cities. The quests are OK and have a good storyline so far, and you will gain a good amount of experience by grinding and rose zulie too. Something I liked in this game was the nice design of the clothes can have from rose online zuly. There also armor also can gain from rose online zulie sets that can be wore by any class. Another nice thing that I would like to talk about, is that you can have nice Arua ROSE zuly in ROSE Online.
