“It is time for [Victoria Atkins] to launch an independent investigation to uncover the full extent of what is essentially a patient safety scandal.” Philip Banfield 💙 responds to Telegraph reporting on instances of PAs replacing doctors on medical rotas: bma.org.uk/bma-media-cent…

In innumerable NHS hospitals physician associates - 2 year degree, no medical school - are being used to replace doctors on on-call rotas. This is a patient safety scandal. These trusts are colluding with a govt agenda to replace doctors with doctor substitutes. Please read 👇

I have received a link to the #RCPEGM which has just been leaked onto YouTube. I suggest you all watch it. Remember it. Remember who is on your side. https ://youtu.be/ G0Qu6BKDy98

Yesterday 6pm, the RCPEGM was leaked by an anonymous account onto YouTube. Having watched it, these are some of the most jaw-dropping moments I heard, some not even factually true. Everyone should watch it for themselves though and make up their own mind. Link at the end.

#RCPEGM survey data is out Specialty Doctors: 55% said PAs limit their training opportunities 71% said PAs limit their team's training opportunities Trisha Greenhalgh Dr David Nicholl Taryn Youngstein platinumpizza™ ExplosiveEnema

I am appalled We need to know who created the slides for the #RCPEGM from these survey data Were they approved by the senior officers and PRCP I am concerned that there seems to be serious issues of conduct and probity that should be urgently addressedd Dr David Nicholl

As a Fellow of Royal College of Physicians I am deeply disappointed that our leaders allowed a #Biased presentation of data, deliberately misleading us at #RCPEGM. Brought the college and entire profession to #disrepute AoMRC and #Federation of Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh Royal College of Physicians & Surgeons of Glasgow need to take note

I think 2 outcomes are clear and inevitable to me after the unfortunate events at #RCPEGM - #FPARCP needs a new home and Royal College of Physicians needs #new_leadership, #Transparency and #Governance after an #independent_inquiry AoMRC

Ok then I am breaking ranks As Councillor Royal College of Physicians Open letter to council Time for senior leadership to consider their positions Silence is complicity And that? Isn’t me Enough. #RCPEGM

Really happy to be part of this work with Debasish Banerjee pauline swift supporting our teams in SW London to improve kidney care

So let me get this right The president @FPARCP had a vote - may have been the casting vote to swing Royal College of Physicians policy on PA register And then resigns While GMC tries to influence vote Well, someone has to do it So I am I am formally asking for this vote to be re-run.
