BREAKING :

Happening now at Columbia University.

Students stand firm, refusing to back down in the face of armed NYPD Riot Cops who have invaded the campus.

Fair play to the people conducting the mass murder and genocide in Gaza

They now control British radio station output

They get anyone questioning them sacked

That’s real power

That’s fascism successfully stopping free speech

And on 11/11 people will say “Lest they forget”

How is it decided which medical conditions are exempt from paying for prescriptions?

Like I think all the ones that are exempt - fair enough

But there are many other conditions which aren’t included where medication is *life-saving* and 100% necessary. Makes no sense to me.

Today's Times.

The govt's new visa changes have caused an 83% fall in visas granted to health & care workers.

We have:

152k social care vacancies

121k NHS vacancies.

This is catastrophic for our NHS & care sectors.

The govt is putting anti-immigrant populism above care.

Joanne McGinn Prof Colin R Melville If a med student was on a dr’s rota surely GMC would intervene?

If the GMC make no comment on this then I think we can all take it to mean, with no uncertainty, that they endorse PAs replacing drs.

GMC your response is eagerly anticipated.

How can a country be ‘rich’ but its people poor?

Kid 1: Daddy just called - he was asking about the shopping list
Me: Ok?
Kid 1: He wanted to know what pads you wanted
Me: You told him??
Kid 1: I said the usual
Me: What’s the usual?
Kid 1: The pink ones WITH wings!
Me: YAAAAS MY BOY!! 🥰

Just putting this here because it is important that people know. The NHS is employing people called PAs and AAs. PA stands for Physician Associate and AA stands for Anaesthetist Associate. To become a PA you need to have completed a post graduate PA studies course.

We have sick, twisted & cruel people running our country.

They video & post people being “removed to Rwanda” as if it’s something to be proud of?!

However they try & spin it - this is open human trafficking using OUR TAX money!

#RwandaNotInMyName

Dr Sarah Benn was suspended from the medical register for peaceful climate protests because an oil company obtained an injunction to stop demonstrations.

We want your views on whether doctors who protest against climate change can still be doctors.

What?!

St George's, University of London have now decided that medical students will have to share their graduation ceremony with PAs?!

It feels like there’s a national coordinated attack on doctors from every angle & every stage
- graduation to senior level

Devalue, devalue, devalue….then

Sickened Home Office have posted a promotional video about detaining asylum seekers to send to an unsafe country, Rwanda. This is tantamount to state-sponsored human trafficking & it's being done the day before elections for party political purposes.
We are better than this.

This is disgraceful from the GMC.
All of its money comes from us doctors.
Their salmon lunches are paid for by us doctors.
Their free healthcare comes from us doctors.
And this is the kind of webinar they are involved in?

As an experienced ST6 psychiatrist I am asked to refer to a specialist consultant and team for ADHD. What the cinnamon toast is this nonsense. You can't just rock up and diagnose.

This post in Reddit about UK PAs is brilliant.

Dr Sandeep Bansal platinumpizza™ Mamas A. Mamas PPP - Putting Patients First

It is chilling how far the PA experiment to replace Drs has progressed under radar. Without social media, I doubt it would have become apparent, or certainly not before it was too late. As it is, we have a chance to salvage medicine, but there is a huge amount of damage to undo

That’s 726 occasions where multiple patients were needlessly and avoidably put at risk.

That’s the equivalent of between 2.79 and 4.44 WTE doctors replaced.

In just one Trust, in just a 6 month period, and prior to both “regulation” and the mass PA expansion Govt has planned.
