@medicalmodelwithabriochebun PA studies courses are superior to ACP courses And that's saying something! Because we've all seen how poor the PA studies courses are Base role & 'experience' are both irrelevant for ACPs Let the PAs join the unqualified, untrained, unregulated, unsafe ACP party

Why are unqualified, untrained, unregulated, unsafe ACPs (non-doctors) being used to replace actual doctors? The ACPs will be along shortly to dishonestly say: "But we're not replacing doctors, it's advanced practice in the base profession"

It started with Advanced Clinical Practitioners (ACPs) ‘supporting’ doctors. Then they worked their way towards becoming full-blown EM consultant ACPs.

And yet we have numerous Gastro consultants on here promoting how great it is to have nurse endoscopists in their department why trainees get no experience

This is what happens when doctors are replaced by NON-DOCTORS (ANPs, ACPs, PAs, AAs etc) These non-doctors do not have the knowledge, qualifications or training to replace doctors. It's unregulated And it's unsafe
