I don't mind us reclaiming our identity with another title such as 'Attending' or even something as simple as wearing a white coat.
@Megsenmumdr @medicalmodelbri @AmandaHensman @human_frozen_ @RosalieBoyce @noodles_nood @DrLKVaughan @fletchjack @thomasdolphin @Mike88881221 @trentconsultant @BMA_Consultants @G_D_Phillips1 @mmamas1973 @drokane @Anisocyte I don't disagree with this - the traditional definition of consultant is now unrecognisable unfortunately and it can be misleading to patients. I would support us renaming as Attending or equivalent.
@medicalmodelbri @AmandaHensman @human_frozen_ @RosalieBoyce @noodles_nood @DrLKVaughan @fletchjack @thomasdolphin @Mike88881221 @trentconsultant @BMA_Consultants @G_D_Phillips1 @mmamas1973 @drokane @Anisocyte Breast oncologists will be doing far more than this in the clinic including systemic therapy, and will have RT planning which includes a range of straightforward and complex cases. So a consultant radiographer only does a very small part of what an oncologist would do.
@medicalmodelbri @AmandaHensman @human_frozen_ @RosalieBoyce @noodles_nood @DrLKVaughan @fletchjack @thomasdolphin @Mike88881221 @trentconsultant @BMA_Consultants @G_D_Phillips1 @mmamas1973 @drokane @Anisocyte Anything out of that he can't and won't do. All he does is consent and plan the RT. In most centres RT plans are peer reviewed. In some the plans are actually generated by non-consultant physics/rads before an oncologist signs them off, so this isn't really that controversial.
🚀 From #Brachytherapy 📡 to #InterventionalRadiotherapy 🎯 Honored to speak at the 26th UK & Ireland Prostate Brachytherapy Conference 🇬🇧🇮🇪 (11–12 June 2026) organozed by @MVCCbrachy Great discussions with leaders in the field, including Peter Hoskin (#Whereishoskin), @peter_orio, AnnHenry & Michael Krachon @bertlesUK Roberto Alonzi @brachyraqi 🌍 The evolution from #Brachytherapy to Interventional Radiotherapy is becoming a global movement to improve cancer care through innovation, collaboration & patient-centered treatment. #ProstateCancer #RadOnc #ESTRO #ABS #CancerCare @AmericanBrachy @degro_ev @ESTRO_RT @ASTRO_org @MVCCbrachy
@brachyexpert @MVCCbrachy Tbh I am a centralist so found the debate challenging. Tiered is interesting - my main argument was that centralisation will kill referrals because no one will refer for Brachy if they can just offer SBRT or EBRT options... But appreciate this applies more to prostate than others
@brachyexpert @MVCCbrachy Controversial is what we need more of! It was fun and light hearted. I was lucky to have won against the motion.
Time for the debate! The motion is "This House believes that brachytherapy should be centralised' with Prof Ann Henry for the motion and @brachyraqi against the motion!
Looking forward to the start of the UK and Ireland Prostate Brachytherapy Conference 2026 tomorrow hosted by @MVCCbrachy. An excellent programme of which I'm proud to be a part of. prostatebrachytherapy.org.uk
Exciting times! Come and join us for all things prostate brachy. Will be a great programme
We are proud to host the 2026 UK and Ireland Prostate Brachytherapy conference on 11-12 June. Abstract submission (30/03/26) and conference registration are available through prostatebrachytherapy.org.uk We look forward to seeing you there!

@tayyaaba77 @Statsjamiefact @pa_StephenNash @Adam_Skeen I think we are still trying to figure out what this role is and where it sits in practice. The landscape remains very uncertain. What we do know is they aren't doctors, yet the GMC has taken them in despite a very uncertain future.
@CharlieM_OBE How about 2 in 1?
@Xeon4f145d96s1 Just putting it out there... Why not just put the pertinent information to that day's consultation into your new note? Everywhere I go now everyone is copy pasting streams of summary every day - you only need a summary copy pasted and updated once a week.
@jryckman3 @BertrandTOMBAL @docpriyamvada @VedangMurthy @DrewMoghanaki @ColtonLadbury @dschan02 @DrSpratticus If 10% of my prostate patients had faecal incontinence of any grade I would stop offering RT altogether!
@ClinoncReg @mancunianmedic @iskandarmohamed @timricketts_ @UddinAkhlaque It goes both ways too. Our AIM knowledge won't be as good as the medics (wow shocker) - but I don't expect medics to know oncology as well as me. You don't see me criticising medics for how they manage oncology inpatients...
@bmj_latest @tomroques Problem now is we have a whole generation of doctors who know nothing beyond discussing everyone in MDT... And stepping away from MDT paralysis will require big cultural shifts. MDTs should only be for controversial cases not catered for by all the algorithms/guidelines we have
@prospectivetACP @D__Melb @cmwilliams99 @drvk_voice It's not about needing the medical degree - these exams are designed for those completing a medical education and pathway. They're meaningless without the preceding medical training and quals- if my cat passed the FRCR doesn't make her a consultant oncologist.
@DrTechnophile @DrHFRyan Yes I think you can swing this as equivalence and hopefully that will satisfy all those concerned!
