Sounds to me like they aren't trying to find an 'alternative' route into a medically related field, rather that they may be trying to cut down on the amount of cardiac technicians, phlebotomists and junior doctors.

With nurses graduating from university with honours level degrees and becoming more and more qualified, I think it's strange that they wouldn't consider offering extra training to them instead, rather than create a whole new role.

To be honest, I think it's all pants.
