There are more than enough under/unemployed GPs to replace every Physician Assistant in 1° care ASAP. They need no supervision, can write their own scripts & order ionising radiation themselves. That frees up ‘supervising’ GPs to see more patients too. Win win Wes Streeting 🙌🏼

Statement from The Royal College of Radiologists following The Leng review - No role for PAs in Diagnostic Radiology. - There may be a limited, tightly defined role for PAs to support doctors working in Interventional Radiology. - PAs should not be requesting any clinical imaging investigations.


Department of Health and Social Care Wes Streeting How dare you suggest that we have “disdain for patients”. This is why I couldn’t bring myself to vote for this dreadful Labour Party in the last election, because of absolute clowns like Wes Streeting who are frankly closet Tories. He should be absolutely ashamed. Get in the bin.

Department of Health and Social Care Wes Streeting Wes Streeting why aren’t you concerned about patient safety on NON strike days ? This is happening tonight . A whistleblower has revealed what is going on in this emergency department. Managers are deliberately putting patients at risk Are you going to find out where this is?

Department of Health and Social Care Wes Streeting Wes Streeting needs to be careful. This could escalate quickly and both resident and senior doctors could fall out with the govt. The govt will get nothing done for the next 4 years with fights at every corner.

Department of Health and Social Care Wes Streeting Until doctors are paid more than their assistants then there is no discussions to be had. The NHS is Ridiculous that doctors have to strike to get paid more than a PA.



You have fully lost doctors at this point Wes Streeting Our assistants are paid £10K more than us - until that is not the case, your words mean nothing
