Slice up the tennis balls and you can get more in the tube - efficient use of space and increased productivity. But you won't be able to play tennis! Be efficient, be productivity but more importantly be effective - do not forget your purpose...

I’ve been thinking a lot about why I object to the associate programme, I stress, in it’s current guise And I could well be wrong about it all!? I think I’ve finally worked out how to express my reservations And I’m going to use a Difficult Airway Society (DAS) algorithm 🧵

🚨🚨Lost for words again. The danger that patients, like the one below, are put in when assessed by a PA instead of a doctor can lead to serious morbidity or death. Is this what we want for our families? Replacing doctors with PAs will be the medical scandal of this century.

“MAPs wishing to expand their scope of practice have an established pathway that currently exists to allow them to gain the necessary qualifications: medical school.”

A laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a major operation with significant major potential complications, including mortality. Even as consultants, there is a great deal of scrutiny on the number of cases and the complication rate. It is also an excellent training procedure for

Ahead of the general election, we’ve published our manifesto, ‘Anaesthesia: solutions for an NHS in crisis.’ 🧵 We’re calling on political parties to: ▪️ Urgently fund more places for doctors to train as anaesthetists, as part of a wider plan for specialty training.

Hi @finalpushanaes1 how long will your website be down for?

Wow. This scandal which started insidiously and secretly permeated most NHS Trusts throughout the country is now on display for the world to see. Physician Assistants cannot replace doctors. The government does not value your health or wellbeing. ☠️

Your “word”? You have had over a year to resolve this - but chosen not to. You’ve stalled. You’ve spun. You’ve refused to negotiate. You’ve refused mediation. You’ve put political posturing above patient welfare. Why on earth should anyone believe a word you say now?

I’m simply horrified to see NHS England now literally breaking the law in how it misrepresents physician associates & other allied health professional - who are NOT doctors - to the public. These posters are from the Bradford District & Craven Health & Care Partnership. 1/n

Great to know that I couldn't get a job in radiology with a BSc, MBCHB with honours and MSRA score of 573! Wish someone had told me that all I had to do was become a PA... 🤬

Merry Christmas everyone! Resident Doctors (who often graduate with £100k+ worth of student loans) are the lowest paid workers in the hospital on Christmas Day. Please retweet this to support doctors, and to ask UK Prime Minister to pay all NHS staff fairly. #FullPayRestoration

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…
