If the educators are having difficulties, then they may be in the wrong job.

I Ilike to work using the KISS principle...Keep It Simple (because I'm) Stupid.
Present system is easy to understand and although over the dafneonline years there have been contributors who have occasionally needed help with understanding ratios, I think that their numbers have been relatively small and this change would likely make their dose calculations more difficult.
Prefer to stay as is. Thanks

In view of all the comments above, is this still on the cards?

I'll close this now as the discussion deadline has passed - see the comments from Sally below:

Thank you to all who have taken time to add your valuable comments, the next DAFNE Executive board meeting is on 25th January, I will share your comments and views with the rest of the group and let them know that though we have had a small response the majority seem to be in favour of sticking with CPs, I will also feed this back to the educator network meetings which will be taking place over the next couple of months.

Thanks again for your input
Sally
