@sib313 BTW: want ONE, just one simple, straightforward, INSTANTLY implementable idea guaranteed to slowly but surely ‘fix’ NHS, even address horrendous cost? Restore frontline clinical hierarchy. That’s it. Nothing else required. Note: FRONTLINE not political Doctor types. Gong chasers.
@sib313 True, as much as large engineering firm run solely by engineers will fail. BUT, engineering firm with no input on strategic planning, R&D, future investment, fails just as quickly. Look what happened to Boeing! Worst NHS policy error of last 25+ years? Abolishment of *GPFH.
@sib313 To add: Doctors are THE ONLY group who really understand how patients tick. Medicine REMAINS as much of an art as a science DESPITE all the technological advances. ‘Doctor knows best’ really is true & denial of that costs a Nation unfathomable sums of money.
This is the dishonesty of @gmcuk @NHSEngland @NHSE_WTE in not doing anything about what they are quietly encouraging while stating that PAs are not doctors. Time to PAUSE to agree on safe scope of practice for PAs. @RoyLilley @parthaskar @RCPhysicians

Baffling. Protests in Georgia are on a scale seen before in Eastern Europe - which were extensively covered by our media. Yet there is virtually nothing on Daily Wail, BBC or the Guardian.

@VishwajeetP4t3l Ah! ‘Modernisation’. Groovy word: beloved of Tony Blair to extent of creating NHS Modernisation Agency, now defunct. If ‘modernisation & optimisation’ = dumbing down, replacing mature clinical talk with New Age Managerial psychobabble, then it is NOT being done for patients.
Happy people don’t get sick. If perversely happy person does get sick, they listen to their doctors, are pleasure to treat and generally get better quickly. Unhappy people get sick a lot. They are pain in proverbial to treat, don’t listen and tend to have weird complications.

@JoStevensLabour @Keir_Starmer @vaughangething @UKLabour @ShadowWales @WelshLabour @WelshLabPress @Ed_Miliband @ieuan_williams_ Lies and neoliberal subterfuge. Just so people know former FM Mark Drakeford signed off on 2 Welsh public/privately owned Freeports in Ynys Mon/Anglesey, and Milford Haven/Pot Talbot with Sunak, also present was Shanker Singham, the brains behind Brexit. Off shore wind farms were…
Ouch!

‘Millions of UK residents agree NHS needs an overhaul’. Ask them what they mean by an overhaul - get millions of answers. Sigh…
Spot on. Exaggerated delays to specialisation (and general practice) to extend ‘cannon fodder’ use propping up inefficient system, correcting errors made by MDT.

What I wonder about: while it’s clear ‘Doctor accounts’ - whether Anon or not - here on X are almost universally on same page, are they reflective of ‘silent majority’? Do the hundreds of thousands of colleagues NOT here realise / care what’s going on? Or are we facing apathy?
This is how it should be done. kevinmd.com/2023/08/naviga…

#RCPEGM Turns out Royal Colleges are anything but ‘collegiate’! Reminds me of an aphorism wish had heard much earlier in my career ‘In medicine, old age & treachery will almost always overcome youth, skill & ambition’.

The international media isn’t paying enough attention to the scale of the protests in Georgia tonight. The pro-EU protesters that came out against the Russian-style “Foreign Agents Law” are chanting that Georgians want to be with Europe, not Russia 🇬🇪🇪🇺

@ExNHSorthopod @deboraheastwood @jamestoml1 @RonnieMDavies I’m trying to bust stereotypes, but have considered it!
The NHS will be very hard to improve without a relentless focus on public health and prevention. People lucky enough to have purposeful lives with supportive relationships, decent education, incomes, diets & housing, and living without fear, are far more likely to escape illness.

Today we as Fellows sent a further Statement of Concern to @RCPhysicians in relation to patient safety and other serious concerns about conduct, governance and performance. There is an urgent need for an Independent Review of the Senior Officers following #RCPEGM @drmattuk…
@ExNHSorthopod @DrPastry We had paid back ALL our training costs by 2nd year Reg because we did so many hours only paid 30% of our base rate!!
@ConkerLover I decided to become Pro-PA after their message.
@DrNeilStone Couldn’t agree more. It’s simply because JDs are used as cheap clerical and admin staff whereas pretty much every other country recognises their importance, respects them and prioritises training.
@ExNHSorthopod Many are totally and utterly oblivious. I’ve many colleagues in the MDT that have never heard of a PA. Others are just about keeping themselves afloat and they can’t contemplate another problem.
@ExNHSorthopod I saw a wee toot with one of our nurses last night. Sorted the little one and she sat down with a sigh. I asked if she was ok. She said “I’m just not sure how long I can keep doing this. I come to work, leave broken and then am too exhausted to enjoy my time off.”
Of all the RCP leadership… its the Registrar who is probably most contemptuous.
Deputy Registrar @RCPhysicians quits over data presentation at #RCPEGM A loss of a colleague who I have grown to know well over a short period of time I really advise senior leaders to reflect & stop hanging out people to dry And the NEED to run things by Council What a mess
The whole #RCPEGM saga is now starting to look a series of 24 I can’t keep up with the twists and turns It’s enthralling The only thing? We literally have lives & careers at stake I urge - again- senior leadership to reconsider Pause, think- this is NOT a legacy to have
