If a PAs personal performance , and the confidence of the supervising GP in their individual ability determines the level of supervision , then how can locum PAs exist? GP doesnt know PA or their abilities .
Why can’t non GP drs locum in GP? We know their training Partha S Kar 🇮🇳🇬🇧🏏🎥

Matt Nash Balazs Jan Hansel Dr Huw Matt Burton Dr Done FICMNews See the problem I have entering this as a tangent is that you have regurgitated a load of NHS management sound-bites that are of little substantive value. I don't necessarily think you're dishonest, I wonder if you even have insight into how vapid what you just wrote is. 1/2

Dr Chris Day has fought for justice for 10 years after raising patient safety concerns & ended up having his career destroyed by powerful people who couldn’t/wouldn’t face uncomfortable truths. The health & legal systems are stacked against #whistleblowers The law has to change

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

For anaesthetic inclined people, I am standing for AoA committee. If you like the look of my statement please consider voting for me, I would also strongly encourage people to check out Andreas who i had the privilege of working along side at Anaesthetists United #pickpick

If you think paying a professional is expensive, wait until you hire an amateur.

Homeopathy is based on the concept that diluting something makes it better. Looks like some have applied this to medical education replacing a 5 year degree with just 2.

Thank you to all of our doctors and everything you do.

Patients accessing the #PharmacyFirst service would be well advised to ask in future: are you a pharmacist or a pharmacy technician?

GP regs in England have spoken, they will not accept a future of funding squeezes, burnout and being constantly devalued. If you haven't already, join The BMA. GP is ready to follow in the footsteps of juniors and other branches in taking strong action to protect our futures.

Today's NHS satisfaction survey is as good a time as any to say that the whole enterprise is fucking stupid.

I can't pretend to myself that there is any effective transmission mechanism between public interest research and policy change.

And I'm done with it.

This is the current state of primary care, urgent care and psychiatry in the US. We are told that physician assistants are supervised, but that is a mere formality. The supervising physicians are not on-site, and frankly unlikely to be doing any meaningful supervision.

I’m a former Physician Associate now at medical school. After 4 years more training, with more responsibility on day 1 of work, I will be taking at least an £11k pay cut from what I’d be earning as a PA.

Going from PA to Doctor should be a promotion, with pay to reflect this.

Today we as Fellows sent a further Statement of Concern to Royal College of Physicians in relation to patient safety and other serious concerns about conduct, governance and performance.

There is an urgent need for an Independent Review of the Senior Officers following #RCPEGM

Dr Matt Kneale…

Let's get the whole team elected so we can make the RCS work for you

EGM is pushed back past deadlines set in bylaws and beyond the date of parliamentary debate

But results are published slightly earlier than the arbitrarily self imposed deadline.

Surely this doesn’t fool anyone into thinking this is a legitimate act of good faith?

Please see below the BAOMS Council's position statement on the role of physician associates in #OMFS
