The perfect rebuttal to a thoroughly unbalanced and unhelpful article
Few people are doing as much to represent the profession, patients and resident doctors as @LondonAnaesth
We need as many calm sensible voices as possible at the moment
🙏
The GMC are outright duplicitous.
They refuse to define scope of practice & say it's not their job, but they have to give their 2p worth on the @RCoANews draft scope document.
Sorry @gmcuk, you can't have it both ways.

Prof Melville's replacement is full on with the doctor replacement campaign.
Well we knew this would be likely, they wouldn't put anyone into the position who doesn't want to do the govts bidding.
But it was surprising how quickly we can find a tweet that shows his intentions.

@gmcuk “…with more doctors than ever before choosing locally employed (LE) roles”
When there are ~29k applicants for ~9k core training posts, doctors are not *choosing* LE roles
They have no other option
Hi @MCubbonNHS
I’ve been informed that some of the Resident Doctor offices in your hospitals have been seized by nursing staff @MFTnhs
Where should your doctors carry out their essential work?
Please sort this.

It is also well worth reading this survey of 6000 anaesthetists regarding AAs conducted by the @RCoANewsrcoa.ac.uk/news/report-me…
I think it’s notable for a couple of reasons
-it was a voluntary survey but almost 40% of all uk anaesthetists responded (a smaller…
"Doctors in radiology started refusing to talk to me about scans"
Maybe bc UK physician associates are not legally entitled to request ionising radiation studies
Moreover increasing volume of poor quality referrals is breaking NHS rad depts

As an association for surgical trainees, run by surgical trainees we are uniquely placed to provide evidence. As Sir Robert Francis KC said a decade ago, trainees are the “eyes and ears” of the NHS and our experiences need to be listened to

@LBC@NickFerrariLBC 1. PAs are not a profession, which by definition has a unique body of knowledge; there is nothing PAs can do that another HCP cannot.
2. What PAs practise is certainly not medicine. To do that, you need a medical degree.
3. The only practise of this caller is charlatanism.
@LBC@NickFerrariLBC I’m a consultant anaesthetist.
I wouldn’t have an anaesthetic given by an AA, and nor would my family.
If it’s not good enough for us, it’s not good enough for any other patient.

A few have done an unrelated subject like law or English.
The SHARED KNOWLEDGE of students at the start of their PA training will be tiny, possibly negligible.

@Art_Li@carriemacewen The @gmcuk is doing no more than making a list
They are leaving scope to local governance which has been shown to be flawed and dangerous
Regulation will be no more than an illusion and will likely be leveraged to extend privileges whilst doctors hold the liability sponge
@drmattuk@UMAPsUK@pa_StephenNash Worth noting that regardless of one's feelings on the role at all, the qualifications bit is wrong. I won't say misleading as that implies intent - but the 4 year UG programme exists. Can no longer state that healthcare degrees are required, so that reassurement is gone.

1. The @gmcuk championing & regulating non doctors has nothing to do with standards or safety but everything to do with money
2. I hope the @DHSCgovuk have their cheque book ready because those numbers aren’t increasing as more and more Dr’s refuse to risk working with MAP’s
Just take a step back
Doctors are arguing that people with a fraction of our training shouldn’t be doing our job & apparently we’re elitist bullies for this
We live in a construct that relies upon established licensure & certification & no-one can change that on a whim
