The Queen’s Birthday hons list has many, many medicos (as usual) but few voced experts

There were but a handful of people from the VET community in the Queen’s Birthday honours list – compared to the legions of medical researchers and practitioners.  It speaks volumes, a learned reader suggests, about the self-image and community standing of the two communities. The medicos are undoubtedly high in community standing, and their friends are also organised in making the case for recognition. Neither it seems, applies to VET. Time for the training community to get itself organised.
