People of England: as your life flashes before you on the grubby floor of a NHS-Sponsored-By-PizzaHut HealthHub, Dave the PA yelling into his phone “Siri, what’s a tracheotomy”, all the while jabbing your neck with a coffee spoon, remember this.
We Told You So.
It’s about time that members of the RCP could vote
The other proposed changes should probably wait until after the @GoodGovInst review of RCP constitution and governance

@2manypeople4me@pa_StephenNash TBF, one group or the other was going to reject the findings. Unlike UMAPS, we weren't rubbing our hands with glee at the prospect of the Leng review.
That pesky overconfidence permeates all PA thinking doesn't it?
@wesstreeting You can't win this Wes. Resident doctors are striking for pay. They don't care for public support and they don't need it. They also don’t care about the slurs, headlines, the moral outrage, or the knights and Lords wheeled out of retirement to scold them. They want pay and value…
Scottish ‘junior’ Doctors accepted a pay offer 2023 with no strikes
▪️12.4% 2023
▪️inflation beating pay rises for 3yrs
▪️commitment to full pay restoration
▪️removal from “independent” pay review body
The Govt listened & talked to the BMA🤷🏻♂️
Imagine a Govt willing to negotiate
@tillytog01@medicalmodelbri@NHSEmployers@DHSCgovuk@GOVUK Leng Review found PAs vastly overstimated what they were competent to do, compared to Drs. Why are none of these people speaking up and acknowledging their training enables them to work as an assistant, not to be seeing indifferentiated pts with minimal supervision?
@GMCharlatan I very genuinely believe the real purpose of rotational training and linked reforms (abolition of firms, portfolio assessment) was, & remains, to disrupt the identity, traditions, hierarchy, & power base of the medical profession. It has been successful. We are 20 years too late.
This the most damning piece of evidence of deliberate substitution of doctors with medically unqualified personnel I have seen so far. Explicitly, people went to erode standards of medical care in the NHS.
