NQP has the potential to be a great learning opportunity for clinicians. Until it is, it’s just a pay suppression mechanism for new staff!

We are extremely disappointed AoMRC has excluded The BMA from a meeting to discuss MAPs and doctors in training despite the inclusion of other key stakeholders including NHS England, GMC and ATDC. [1/3]

Charity Commission has agreed to reopen enquiry into whether or not the GMC has breached its charitable objectives by taking on the regulation of anaesthesia and physician associates

It seems MFT NHS has truly gone off the rails. This letter signed by Cara Hendry MD as the PA lead attempts to threaten and bully a doctor for having sent the following WhatsApp message raising awareness of a PA breaching NHSE’s own guidance.

Apologise now and fix this.

Errrrr MFT NHS you lot know who are striking right? You know who voted at EGMs in both anaesthetics and RCP? You know who made their voices heard in BMA surveys?

Juniors of all grades. This is not FY doctors vs PAs. This is doctors in general, especially junior doctors, against

Fundamentals of Applied Pathophysiology for Paramedics Fundamentals of Applied Pathophysiology for Paramedics is a new textbook for student paramedics (and those brushing up on their knowledge). highlandpict.wordpress.com/2024/04/02/fun…

Have seen a lot of tagging GMC on here lately.

Once again, GMC referrals carry high risk of morbidity and mortality for doctors.

It is inappropriate to threaten GMC referrals over disagreements or doctors raising valid concerns.

🔴 Degrees in homoeopathy, computer science, English literature and human resources are being accepted as entry qualifications to train to become a physician associate, the Daily Telegraph can reveal telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/03/3…

GP partners

You now have the BMA and NHSE saying you cannot allow PAs to independently see patients and all work must be supervised and reviewed

ALL WORK

This will land squarely at your feet when something goes wrong

Some PA partners are going to have to check their egos

How well do you know your way around the inside of an ambulance?🚑 As part of our regular Core Skills training, yesterday our team were familiarising themselves with the equipment and layout of the new London Ambulance Service trucks.

@medicalmodelwithabriochebun And in a moment it was done:

2014
PA leadership asked 135 Physician assistants if they felt their title should change from Physician's assistant to Physician Associate and 135 agreed.

This title change was inflicted on 65 million UK people by the leadership of 135 PAs.

@medicalmodelwithabriochebun “Physician associate sounds grander than a GP”. GMC, Clare Gerada please listen to the patients and their families.
You’re overseeing the dismantling of the medical profession, and its associated reputation for outstanding quality and safety. And you know it.

Today, we’ve launched our public consultation about the rules, standards and guidance needed to implement the regulation of physician associates (PAs) and anaesthesia associates (AAs).

Legislation has been passed for us to regulate PAs and AAs. We’re now consulting on proposals…
