Westbury Medical Centre in Wood Green clumsily saying the quiet parts out loud Wanting to see a real medically-trained GP is having ‘too high expectations of the NHS’ apparently 🤦♂️ At least they acknowledge that their #ProjectPA is the inferior product

Abolish Physician Assistants. Scrap ARRS funding. Use savings to invest in doctors + nurses as core clinical staff. Stop pretending anyone can be a GP. Revamp doctor training programmes. Have a long term NHS workforce vision. It’s not rocket science. @wesstreeting
Can I be nurse of the year? Somehow, I thought not.

Imagine waiting 2 years for a mental health assessment then being diagnosed by a PA with NO mental health experience after a 2 yr course . The people of Wakefield deserve better jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/joba…

@Xeon4f145d96s1 @PlaceholdTrent I want every morally bankrupt consultant pushing for MAPs to see this group and KNOW they have contributed to this. All this BS about plenty of jobs to go around. I have no respect or regard for any consultant 'championing' MAPs. They can all get in the bin. This is outrageous
The UK needs a hard reset
What a sad fucking time to be alive when we have accounts like @PlaceholdTrent reaching out to a pizza and an enema because they are so despondently out of options and at the mercy of faceless adminoids toying with their lives. Well done educationalists, take a bow.
Stop requesting scans for them Stop prescribing for them You’re not their supervisor , the consultant is reddit.com/r/JuniorDoctor…
Dear @JonathanCorne1 Please can you address this ASAP. This causing a huge amount of stress for our future colleagues.

Just had my RCGP survey on PAs in General Practice. Impossible to complete if you don’t believe they have a role. We don’t have the estates to host them, the time to supervise them, the desire to hold their risk and would prefer salaried GPs. RCGP have already decided for us.
Does my 24 year NHS career really just fizzle out with a text message from a stranger 15 minutes before the end of a shift?
It’s no secret at all. The NHS is replacing doctors, with less skilled workforce. Patient outcomes are and will be worse.

Say it loud for those at the back: THERE IS NO 'WORKING AT THE LEVEL OF A REGISTRAR' WITHOUT BEING A REGISTRAR.
My excellent IMT3 doctor friend has wanted to do Cardiology since med school. She worked so damn hard in the last years to prepare for the bottle neck for a training number. She moved cities and houses multiple times for different training jobs. She didn't get in this year as…
Doctors should not be held to account for a PA making a mistake. We didn't sign up to this. Follow BMA guidance or say no to being a supervisor. Otherwise it's YOUR license on the line. pulsetoday.co.uk/analysis/gmc-c…
So the GMC takes issue with a female doctor peacefully protesting because she cares for the environment but has no issue with anti-vax male doctors spreading dangerous propaganda. I am shaking with rage.

I think it's time for coordinated action. @TheBMA it is time for a vote of no confidence in the GMC. Time for us to stop giving our hard-earned money to a regulator that despises doctors.

Getting there with it. Certainly makes my bedroom… different 😂
This is completely out of order for @gmcuk bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… if it fits the ‘rules’ the rules are wrong and must change. Government has hugely restricted the right to protest & there is no chance of this reducing public confidence, it’s a matter of conscience.
