Absolutely spot on from Louella Vaughan & David Oliver on GMC's appallingly dumbed down vision for UK medical education.

Patients, doctors, med students, all health care workers - please read.

Just what on earth is our regulator playing at? 🤷‍♀️

Imagine if half the effort put into #RwandaBill had been put into any other aspect of Government
Imagine if we had leaders who actually worked for the national interest

Pay doctors competitively or we will leave.

It's as simple as that.

We are not your slaves.
We are not your property

We do however save your lives and those of your loved ones and prevent and treat your illnesses.

Pay us competitively.

Wow - this is a huge huge loss to UK medicine.

Dr Wong and family choosing to go to Singapore

20 years of expertise gone just like that.

We are losing 15-20k Doctors each year. Tell me how many PAs or even fresh doctors it would take to cover up the gap being left behind by

I am kind of annoyed that you’ve all just noticed now that there is a reserve list of doctors. It has been like this for literally years but everyone only gives a shit now because it’s not those stinky bottom decile students.

How to tell if an organisation is out of touch with reality, and more importantly the Doctors it’s supposed to be an ‘independent’ regulator of?

I keep seeing colleges and societies denounce further expansion or rollout of PAs but it seems to me that it’s not having any impact? NHSE pushing on full steam ahead..

Neena Jha Dr Rachel Clarke I worked in the NHS for 40 years - full time - in hospitals, hospices, and community teams. I can easily recall much that was excellent, and some that was not, but never anything like this! Govt won't listen, and doesn't care. GE this year. What's to be done Wes Streeting MP?

Dr Rachel Clarke I can’t believe this is happening in the NHS right now. Her employers also should be held accountable- it’s an utter disgrace that patients are being subjected to this

A PA - a person WITHOUT a medical degree running a telephone clinic with undifferentiated patients from home

Then videoing these consultations & posting them on social media?!

🚩 GROSSLY unprofessional
🚩 NEGLIGENT supervision

Even a first year medical student would be kicked out if they showed this level of unprofessionalism and disrespect (taking REAL consultations in BED and POSTING IT). I can’t believe what my eyes are seeing and I’ve seen a lot.

There ought to be a BMA disclaimer for registrars/FYs who are made to supervise PAs. ie We will do our best to help but will not take responsibility for staff who the trust has allowed to work in doctors roles. Let the Trust take the liability.The BMA
