This is unbelievably embarrassing for GMC. The advertising regulator doing a better job than the regulator for safe patient care. Is the double think breaking?

BREAKING/ The NHS establishment has a long & ignominious track record in trying to silencing the safety concerns of staff. 40 Fellows of Royal College of Physicians call here for the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges (AoMRC) to correct their attempts to smear doctors' concerns re: PAs 👇

A sad day today. The Sphinx will melt in the early hours of tomorrow morning, meaning that’s the fourth consecutive year it has done so. This patch was once considered permanent. It has now melted completely since the 1700s in the following years: 1933 1959 1996 2003 2006 2017

Well well well, look what we have here. If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it’s probably a duck. Sure looks like replacement to me.

What is going on with the @RCGP AGM Special Resolution 4 (SR4)? Something isn't adding up. What is SR4? How did we get here? What does this change improve? What are the unintended consequences?

NHS England have plans for 4 tiers of PA career development They initially wanted to call the top tier "Consultant" And the GMCs new Director for Standards believes others can be trained to work as consultants to "fill rota gaps" This is the deregulation of medicine

So this is the new great idea🤔 I’m pretty sure if Sarah had seen a GP she wouldn’t have needed to have a CT scan, no need to speak to the ENT registrar & yes it could be managed in the community Why does NHS England always underestimate the skills of GPs england.nhs.uk/long-read/refo…

I refuse to train non doctors to not become anaesthetists On behalf of patients, I want more of my colleagues to have the confidence to say this The more I think about it, the more incredulous I become that policy makers thought this was ok?

I was the on call Anaesthetic resident for emergency theatres last weekend and a trainee SCP was first assist for certain cases e.g lap appendix and was doing other cases e.g abscesses with local supervision. I felt really uncomfortable with this. 1/n

Well. This is absolute nonsense, isn't it. Trump levels of nonsense.

Looks like the GMC finally decided how to best deal with those “social media issues” 🤪 Running away is so much easier than clearing up your own mess…… At least in the short term!!

GMC has decided to remove itself from X where it has come into a lot of discussion & debate about whether it listens to the Drs it registers Will this make the GMC less accountable? Was it ever accountable? Does it listen to Doctors? Formally ‘Independent regulator of Drs’

Let me predict where this is heading: 1. Wes Streeting will shut down external applications ergo IMGs applying for training posts. And the exams too. 2. There likely will be a ‘pass’ for those IMGs already in system. Maybe. 3. Non-training posts will prioritise local grads -

🚨 UPDATE: Consultant and SAS doctors - read the latest on the Scottish Government's "breach of trust" on pay discussions. Dr Alan Robertson and Dr Sine Steele's blog outlines how last year's agreement is not being honoured, and our next steps. 👇👇👇 bmascotland.home.blog/2025/06/12/bre…

The NHS is genuinely an awful employer. It’s been a little over a year since I left and joined a GP practice and it’s been wonderful. I look back at my time as a resident doctor, and particularly my time as co-chair of the BMA, and remember continuously reflecting on how bad

The GMC left this platform because they knew their actions were indefensible This is no longer a few doctors complaining This is a profession wide rebellion against a regulator no longer performing its function It’s time to listen, act & buy some goodwill Wes Streeting

This summarises the obfuscation of every clinician supporter of the PA role perfectly - “If you can’t explain something simply - then you don’t understand it yourself “ A Einstein

Medicine and public health have added three decades to the human lifespan. Vaccination alone produced 40% of the reduction in child deaths. And now a disturbed and unqualified man driven by crackpot theories is destroying the foundations of this work, including CDC.
