Martin Wadley Dr Linda Dykes @[email protected] Tim Ricketts Walsall Healthcare The Royal College of Surgeons of England Look at the previous publications. Absolutely they’re aware, and absolutely they chose. And oh so absolutely mediocre but sure isn’t that just very on brand for the whole nonsense?
Dr Linda Dykes @[email protected] significantrisk Tim Ricketts Plan to tweet some more about this but:
The team involved must surely be aware of the current controversies surrounding PAs/AAs and unregulated roles for non-doctors
So the team at Walsall Healthcare chose to submit a desperately mediocre paper and The Royal College of Surgeons of England chose to publish?🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Steve Taylor I don’t think it’s bad intent. I think it’s a naive understanding of the nature of health care … a failure to recognise that the practice of medicine is not just a set algorithmic technocratic processes but is grounded in nuanced judgements, trust and personal relationships.
Adam Janjua pain management team without a specialist physio and psychology input do not seem to know how to treat chronic pain - I've dealt with 3 patients we spent 6 months getting them off the junk that Pain clinic started and helping them live their life again
rodric jenkin Ahmad Barotchi Louella Vaughan Dr Linda Dykes @[email protected] It’s one of the most embarrassing papers I’ve ever seen published.
Tim Ricketts Dr Linda Dykes @[email protected] Quite, they decided in the 1700s that surgeons required medical training to be safe and effective.
I do not know exactly what has happened the last few years where it seems everyone that isn't a doctor can say 'ohhh, lets have a go'.
This 'study' (I use that term loosely) is just a review of one SCP operating with no control - how did it get published.
The Royal College of Surgeons of England should retract this paper - nowhere is there evidence in this paper to support the conclusion that SCPs can perform LC safely.
Disappointed to see The Royal College of Surgeons of England publishing this. A single SCP has been allowed to perform lap choles on patients as the primary operator.
What is the point of med school, surgical exams, core training and specialty training? All the courses, publications and presentations?
Would be a far better investment to spend this time, energy, resources &money on training actual doctors to perform surgical procedures
Could Walsall Healthcare
& University Hospitals Birmingham explain why they decided not to invest in actual trainee surgeons? You know, the future surgical consultants
I've got a crazy idea The Royal College of Surgeons of England
Maybe let surgical trainees actually operate, and let an assistant do the discharge letters?
