I never knew GEMS was for engineers only. You learn something new...
I knew engineering project managers whose suggestions were accepted, but there could be no financial reward on the grounds it was part of their job, as at that time they were required to be able to do every job in the team. I knew the lady who headed it. Her hubby was an RN officer. She politely explained this and quite happily admitted the suggestions would be scrutinised by admin, sat on for a while, then resubmitted by someone who was eligible.
