🚨Patient Safety🚨 I’m not sure people really understand why doctors are up in arms about this government trying to substitute doctors Why we think it will affect patient care? So let me explain to you what it has taken me to train to become an NHS consultant, necessary to

I still can’t quite wrap my head around the fact that the NHS has greenlit people with a 2 year degree seeing undifferentiated patients in the community. This is going to be a massive retrospective scandal in a decade.

Day 5 of asking.

Paul says the thing no politician will say:

Speaking to a Consultant Surgeon who is also a parent of a teen today. Child has done well in GCSE’s all 9s No chance will go into Medicine, “None of his cohort (academic top set) want to now”. This kid wanted to, but has decided against it after seeing the state of the NHS

First day back at work in GP following a 3 month sabbatical in Vancouver My God, my brain is fried already. Every patient is complex, 3 requiring urgent admission. Dealt with every specialty inc paeds, gynae, renal, gastro, derm, resp, surgical, MSK & neuro. I’m an

Deniers are jumping on the fact that summer 2024 was the UK's coolest summer since 2015. Climate change isn't linear, so the temp goes up and down - but the trend is up. Scientists are also discussing whether the the jet stream has gotten 'stuck' as the planet heats - hence our

Translation; “We don’t like being publicly shamed online for failing to publish the raw data from our MAPs consultation, and so felt obliged to regurgitate the same corporate communications waffle we’ve been saying for months in the hope you all forget about asking for the data”

Call me cynical but is GMC hoping that by the time we get to the end of this long post we shall have forgotten the question which is why have they failed to publish the results of their public consultation on PAs that closed in May. If that was the intention it hasn’t worked.

The cynic in me finds this inexplicable delay by the GMC very concerning. Even more reason to support Anaesthetists United action imo. It may be the one thing they can’t ignore.

This is an issue of enormous public concern GMC. If your public consultation on your intended regulation of physician associates closed on 9 May why haven’t results been shared with the public? How long are you going to keep Dr Rachel Clarke & the public waiting for a response?

Imagine being in a situation where your baby dies unexpectedly whilst receiving care in a neonatal unit. Your world is turned upside down - but rather than being able to grieve & come to terms with what happened as best you can, you and your family are thrust in to a world of

Day 9 of asking.

“Regulations stifles economic growth”

A cache of freedom of information responses on interactions between GMC, HEIW and others regarding Medical Associate Professionals. A vital read that justifies many doctor concerns about this. Diolch to those who did the work. paprojectwatch.wordpress.com/wp-content/upl… Some highlights 🧵 1/

Tory leadership favorite Robert Jenrick is touring UK News Shows telling viewers “we should leave the ECHR & replace it with a British Bill of Rights” This argument is going to come up a lot in the coming months & years. I explain in this film why it’s A VERY BAD IDEA!

What has the ECHR ever done for us? Quite a lot actually, and we wrote it too.

PSA: ignore all polls like this unless they follow up with “how much more tax?” We did, and the answers were pretty amazing.

Unbelievable. Will there be anything to stop NHS trusts employing PAs or AAs to effectively work in the role of a very senior doctor, or even medical consultant, in all but name? This is why Anaesthetists United action is so important.

We knew there was a risk Wes Streeting MP’s words were empty. He knows that Physician Associates are HIGH risk for patients, because that’s the government’s own analysis. But Wes thinks he can duck this scandal, and get away with it. RT to show him he can’t. #AskForADoctor
