    2004-05-07T00:00:00Z

    Punchy journalism may force you to simplify the debate about the Egan Review (BD April 23). But it might be more helpful if the profession allowed itself time for careful deconstruction of generic skill vs core competence, to wonder whether they are really so different and exclusive.Here's a story to ...
