Please, MPs, before you vote on tomorrow’s AD bill, I beg you to ask yourselves why the Royal College of Psychiatrists felt compelled to publicly oppose it…. Ask yourselves why the vast majority of palliative care doctors, geriatricians & groups representing people with disabilities, eating

Thank you Kanishka Narayan MP for taking the time & trouble to study the data - & listening to the concerns of doctors. This bill is rushed, reckless & unsafe & has failed to address the deep-seated concerns of doctors like me who work with very vulnerable patients.

"We fight once more for a regulator that can clearly define who can, and who cannot, practice medicine. Today I’m announcing for the first time in over 150 years, we are launching a new BMA register solely for doctors." Philip Banfield 💙 addresses #BMAARM25 calling for doctors to

This #politicslive shitshow needs to be flushed down the sewer. It's been a cavalcade of Conservative creeps today. If Chris Mason and his BBC pals had shown a minutae of this level of scrutiny when Tories were ruining the country for 14 years we wouldnt be in this mess. #PMQs

🥰 1 GP partner, myself, and Nurses. Amazing reception, secretarial, and managerial staff. A teaching practice with registrars. 99% face to face. Patient lists and continuity. ~5000 patients 🥰 No PCN No ARRS No nonsense Just good old fashioned care. I love my job!!

My kid is taught in school by a teacher. My family is flown on holiday by a pilot. My house is wired by an electrician. Accepting anything less - well it's not even up for discussion is it? Apart from in healthcare where it's rude to say such things!

After Royal College of Physicians recent treatment of Partha S Kar 🇮🇳🇬🇧🏏🎥 I will be moving my membership to Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh. I was so proud when I got MRCP (2010) but I cannot associate myself with this shambles of an organisation any more. A sad day. I urge others to do the same & I wish I’d done it sooner.

Ask a resident doctor what their commute is. Ask if they chose the town they live in. Ask how many friends’ weddings they have missed. Ask if they have a hobby. Ask if they have had to delay starting a family because of exams or training. They sacrifice *relentlessly*.

When I was a newly qualified doctor in 2017, a typical hour on call might involve: – Being bleeped non stop to prescribe fluids or meds – Managing sepsis, post-op bleeds, heart attacks, strokes – Starting resuscitation solo while the arrest team rushed in – Breaking bad news and

Nick Robinson received a £70k pay rise last year. That's an increase of 20% taking pay up to £349k. It's clear the resident doctor on #R4Today could do Nick's job. Could Nick save a life?

I think we should talk about Physician Assistant Nash’s claim that PAs have been diagnosing cancers, despite having no base medical qualifications, let alone Haem or Onc postgrad medical training. A non-Haem/Onc doctor would not diagnose cancers, for example 1/

Wow- this has been what we have been arguing for for the last couple of years, placing patient safety first. There is no place for individuals with no medical training (PAs) to be seeing unselected, acutely unwell patients, or delivering medical advice for on call quarternary

There are more than enough under/unemployed GPs to replace every Physician Assistant in 1° care ASAP. They need no supervision, can write their own scripts & order ionising radiation themselves. That frees up ‘supervising’ GPs to see more patients too. Win win Wes Streeting 🙌🏼

Just had a conversation with a doctor. A London A&E is already gaming the system They require PAs to discuss the patient with a Reg or Con before being seen The patient is now considered differentiated And they can see the patient as before Including majors and

GMC thinks public safety isn’t a legal obligation, ignored multiple safety concerns, obstructed medical experts, blurred role distinctions, and can’t define med practice. They enabled PAs to work dangerously & didn’t assess skills/courses. Are they fit for purpose? 18/

Wes Streeting How can we expect GMC to correct course? How can GMC be trusted to safely regulate a workforce they clearly do not understand, grossly overestimated & dangerously enabled? Can we proceed without a drastic change in leadership, starting with Charlie Massey? 19/19

🙄 The media and political debate has been about nothing BUT “mass immigration” for the last 10 years! If the media and politicians could actually have an HONEST conversation about immigration that would be amazing But that’s not what she means, is it? 1/6

Peter doesn't realise that when a patient gets actually sick, they get sent straight to the NHS. You literally have private surgeons booking a patient a taxi straight to A&E when anything goes wrong. What will private healthcare do when you get sepsis?

The wasted cost of track and trace would have paid for full pay restoration for doctors for the next 37 years.
