We have so many divisions in society I can help but think we ought to have a secular state and end religious schools. Speaking as someone who attended two religious schools.
"The strain on diagnostic staff is evident, with 88% of CDCs relying on existing NHS or health trust staff. Urgent action is needed to expand the radiologist workforce through training & retention initiatives" Our President @halliday_kath's full response: rcr.ac.uk/news-policy/la…

Seeing the same GP reduces your risk of an emergency admission to hospital or of needing to use the out of hours service by 30% and astonishingly reduces the risk of dying in the following 12 months by 25% And knowing your patients makes being a GP a wonderful job. @rcgp
Come join me for ‘How, Why and Where to Drain’ @BSGAR_UK Virtual education teaching on Thursday 29th February at 1pm. Register here: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regist… Aimed at diagnostic radiologists to give more actionable reports when seeing collections! Looking forward to it!
Time to dust this off. From our local Severn School of Radiology supervision and feedback document Whenever anyone talks about supervision of more junior/less experienced/other colleagues, it has to be meaningful supervision It’s a fine line between remote and zero supervision
Awesome to be part of such a wonderful group of people, sad to leave after 4 years, but @BSGAR_UK in very good hands with new treasurer Dr Meetal Shah!

Team Nottingham (and Derby!) at @BSGAR_UK #BSGAR2024 What a fantastic meeting!
Earlier we had a packed out symposium for @anu_obaro here at #BSGAR2024 Tour de force of the amazing work she’s doing with the National CTC Training and Accreditation Programme. Has to be seen to be believed!!!!
Trainees are our future. We must prioritise training opportunities for specialist trainees and ensure trainers have time to supervise them. The training of other healthcare workers cannot compromise the training of current/future doctors. Full statement: rcr.ac.uk/news-policy/la…

@goldstone_tony @trentconsultant If Dr G says NO (and he knows the money) then who would logically vote yes for this? This is not over. Our decision now will influence the next 10-20 years of medicine in the UK. It’s tough. But we should not back down. It’s too important. @goldstone_tony #PayRestoration
It’s a no from me too
Winter pressures and critical incidents happen every year and are not a new phenomenon linked to junior doctors strikes 😒. Increased investment in secondary care capacity may be difficult, but crucial. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
We are back with the 5th session of the FRCR Part1 Anatomy Webinar Series, covering GU & gynae anatomy, free for all to attend live! Delivered by Dr Bhavana Shyamanur, ST5 Radiology Registrar at East Yorkshire and Dr Timothy Edwards, ST2 Radiology Registrar at East Yorkshire.
@misspaulalondon @RobotXander @goldstone_tony @ifs 1/ Please can you explain which "variable are too vague" Im sorry you feel the (almost all doctors) people responding are "unintelligent", generally medicine gets the creme of school leavers The basic methodology of the graphs as acknowledged is from @FT @jburnmurdoch [left]
Option 1 pay willing junior radiologists a proper salary for their skills & training. Option 2 pay radiology consultants in Abdominal Neuro Vascular Paediatric Musculoskeletal at Locum rates Please stop this now! @VictoriaAtkins #PayRestoration #BMA #JuniorDoctorsStrike

@Oldboatie @chriscraigCCC I think you’re being a bit unfair to med students. PAs lack the in-depth physiology, anatomy, pharmacology and biochemistry education, among other things.
We have so many divisions in society I can help but think we ought to have a secular state and end religious schools. Speaking as someone who attended two religious schools.
@ShiYunZhao look who I met! Are you jealous? @BSGAR_UK
@UKGastroDr Perhaps we should call them clinical associates, regulate via HCPC and then there would be less confusion. Medical professionals is nonsense and designed to obfuscate. GMC and NHSE seem intent on blurring the distinction. Meanwhile 'physicians' need to reclaim the word.
@drcolinm They are healthcare professionals - not medical professionals - you can continue to blur the lines between doctors and PAs but I would not be happy for a PA to be describing themselves as a medical professional - we both know what the general public thinks of when medical
@drcolinm Ask any layperson what profession they believe a “medically trained professional” to be and the vast majority will say “doctor”. Do you believe a person is competent to see undifferentiated patients after 2 years doing a course which may not meet GMC standards?

"The strain on diagnostic staff is evident, with 88% of CDCs relying on existing NHS or health trust staff. Urgent action is needed to expand the radiologist workforce through training & retention initiatives" Our President @halliday_kath's full response: rcr.ac.uk/news-policy/la…
Community Diagnostic Centres are helping cut waiting lists by offering patients tests, checks and scans quicker and closer to home. 🧑⚕️ Over 7 million tests, checks and scans since 2021. 🏥 Now at 160 sites across England. 🌟 Largest ever cash investment in NHS scanning capacity.
@RCRadiologists @halliday_kath 👍In addition to doing the scans & reporting, we need more trained staff & resources for quality assurance- it's not as simple as putting a scanner in a building. Rather than further stretching finite resources so patients at CDCs get worse care & less clinically useful imaging.
@DrNeenaJha The way I see it the role is generalisable, not generalist. They can move between depts easily, without further training, because the role should be generally the same anywhere - basic clinical tasks & admin, ward work etc. NOT scopes in GI, theatre in surgery, etc.
@timricketts_ You’re missing the point - the question you should be asking is why is a newly qualified doctor only paid about £30k...
The messages keep coming. A Gastro trainee from the East Midlands messaged me about their endoscopy training.
I’m a former Physician Associate now at medical school. After 4 years more training, with more responsibility on day 1 of work, I will be taking at least an £11k pay cut from what I’d be earning as a PA. Going from PA to Doctor should be a promotion, with pay to reflect this.
This table shows an hourly pay for doctors and #physicianassociates Doctors only start to out earn a PA by 5th year post graduation IF they progress through their career without any breaks, but around 80% of doctors do FY3. So in reality, most only start to out earn PA in PGY 6
Physician Associates doing Gastroenterology clinics - this is very concerning for patient safety. This is from a Gastroenterology SpR close to CCT.
