Yet here we are . Royal College of Anaesthetists Dr Claire Shannon Association of Anaesthetists NHS England allowing a patient to be forced into being anaesthetised by an AA or no surgery at all x.com/_eva_smith/sta… Dr Navina Evans RESIGN

GMC have stopped caring about your safety as a patient. Help remind them of what's important in healthcare - support Anaesthetist's United case by pledging financial support now.

@medicalmodelwithabriochebun GMC Prof Colin R Melville The day doctors collectively say "no my license doesn't allow that" is the day they look for other work.

Anisopoikilocyte So, we're paying nearly half a billion for *unqualified* staff while actual doctors are ghosting shifts? Seems like the NHS is practicing a new form of alchemy: turning gold (doctor training) into lead (PA/AA salaries).

Front page of the The Times and The Sunday Times Shaun Lintern except the headline is COMPLETELY fabricated. As confirmed by both of the interviewees Dr Ross Nieuwoudt Dr Melissa Ryan 🦀 (& admitted by Shaun Lintern) they (nor The BMA) did NOT threaten to "bring the NHS to a standstill". RT if you agree

Leng said " it's not helpful to have trained healthcare professionals made redundant" in AA webinar - how will she act to make sure that threat to Drs of same this summer is evaporated??

If nothing else, a name change and reappraisal of role should force assistants to withdraw from teaching, lecturing or examining MBBS folk. They can concentrate on other assistants.

New anesthesiology malpractice case out today. Anesthesiologist refuses to start a crash C section bc there’s a uro stent case going (with a CRNA), waiting for the 2nd call/backup anesthesiologist to arrive.

Dr Sandeep Bansal My 'gold plated pension' came at the expense of spending 20% of my entire working life on call and working most of it. That's 20% of family life cancelled, declined, interrupted meals, Christmas, school plays, but let's hope someone is there when you need Intensive Care.

Is DHSC attempting to align 2yrs as hospital PA with FY1-2? Overlapped training perhaps? Aiming to further blur differences from Drs in this guise? Advanced PAs to replace other flavours of ACP ultimately as well as MBBS?

What name is to be applied to PAs in 2 yr postgrad hospital stint? Junior PA? Trainee PA? FY PA? Time to start calling FY/SpR/CT Drs trainee consultants in GP/hospital medicine.

Major failing of Leng report is absence of recommendation to make GMC registration mandatory from 6 months hence. Delaying until December 2026 makes a mockery of "name change to improve safety". GMC managed to register half the cohort in last 6/12.

From posts on X, PA/Resident relationship seems to be embedded with idea that the latter are subordinate to the former in many hospitals. How many noctors will adjust to a reversal of that positioning, and how will it be enabled?

Anisopoikilocyte Juliaherbert962 invertedcoriolis Toni Hazell Burnt Toast Mary Springchicken Luke Mordecai Parody RCGP The Leng review UMAPs.org.uk PAs pushed & campaigned & lobbied for first name change, GMC registration PAs have taken opportunities, teaching, training, & jobs from medical students & doctors at every level Let's stop pretending that they are incapable of speaking for themselves

National Health Serf Wes Streeting Shaun Lintern Sky News LBC News Hi Carole Malone 👋 where’s your outrage and foaming at the mouth when patient safety is compromised on non-strike days? Can you blame resident doctors for this?

Does GMC registration and associated scope reduce litigation costs/damages in medicolegal cases? Suspect NHS Resolution tipped Streeting towards accepting Leng. Suspect GMC registation of ACP/ANP and scopes are next. Why else re-write Medical Act to provide CCT to MAPs?

Prof Julian Barratt RN PhD Journal of Advanced Nursing 4th parapgraph of your letter, you say that there is insufficient research to determine the contribution (or possible detriment) of advanced practice to MDTs. Please acknowledge this is just an opinion piece.
