This is heartbreaking for any F2 And if I read this as a consultant who enables this, I’d be so deeply ashamed of myself and what I have done to my patients and my colleagues. I hope @RCollEM and its members reflect on this:
@KirstyChallen @Anisocyte @iDrSunny @2manypeople4me @rheumipainmask @XelenX1 @mancunianmedic @DrLKVaughan @Chonkubine @medicalmodelbri @alisonleary1 @Mary_Tom11 @jacqui_lewis18 @parthaskar @Burnt2020 @cannula_service @cmwilliams99 @LittlePersonDoc @cathjw @davehartin @RachelCB11 @Janeajnet @LucyGoBag @TheBMA @BMAResidents @fletchjack @RCollEM @UMAPsUK Imagine you are an FY2 just about to complete your training year. You have applied for ED CT training but the competition ratio is 14:1. There are no locum or LED jobs available and you are applying to Tesco's just to make ends meet. Then you read Leeds ED has staffed 35 ACPs.
What stands out isn't just the scale of the problem, but that treating patients in corridors is now a metric the NHS has to track. When unsafe care becomes an official statistic, it suggests standards have fallen far below what patients should expect. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/06/1…
Unfortunately you are living in cloud cuckoo land and very probably beyond redemption. Perhaps try to find a better source for your facts. By the way I am blocking you!
@skynetbuffering @mackey198 I think you will find they all have an under grad degree, 10+ years of working with multiple quals along the way and then a full masters. They are incredibly qualified, ☺️
A public consultation is not a public consultation when no effort made by @DHSCgovuk to inform UK public it is happening. Only conclusion to be drawn from these ‘public consultations’ is that DHSC has already decided what it wants to do& doesn’t want interference in their plans!
At what point is a public consultation not one ? Shouldn’t the @DHSCgovuk have to take reasonable steps to make the public aware of these consultations? How is the public meant to know if @DHSCgovuk only publish it on their website? Surely 132 responses isn’t valid
@Keir_Starmer What are you doing about the thousands of doctors that can’t get into training after fy2 and are going to be unemployed from august??
@implausibleblog @TheMeldrew This is outrageous, poor little girl. There’s a PA at my GP practice, she didn’t introduce herself as such. I assumed she was a GP as I’d specifically asked to see a GP when I booked, she misdiagnosed me. People are dying because of PA’s straying beyond their scope of practice.
This supposed ‘consultation’ has not been advertised sufficiently to get an accurate picture of opinions on this subject. Was this deliberate so changes can be pushed through without dissenting views?
DOCTORS ON X THE @gmcuk PUBLIC CONSULTATION CLOSES ON THE 23RD OF JUNE. You can be sure that all 7000 PAs and their families have voted to keep the physician assistant title . HAVE YOU RESPONDED YET?
I was explicitly told to make up medical device safety risk data in the Royal Berkshire Hospital during the pandemic. There has been no investigation. medium.com/@grahamwebb_73…
@drsanjoykumar @nottsinquiry Which moronic over-promoted pseudomanager thinks this is acceptable? So much wrong. Signed by no one, meaning no accountability. No psychiatric assessment of patient despite a GP believing it is necessary. Then asking the GP to make the decision to initiate treatment. Mindless.
Psychiatry as a profession…..you will not learn till there’s accountability and dismissal. Can the failing Psychiatrists from the Nottingham Inquiry be dismissed asap. Can we make an example of them to improve standards….now…let’s not wait for the conclusions. Our country needs to be in safe hands now and we don’t have time to wait for another disaster. I would like a call from @jamesmurray_ldn your private sec has my number. Let’s get rid of terrible Psychiatrists and shine a light on the good services. @rcpsych @nuwandiss @AllisonPearson @redrumlisa @Fhamiltontimes @Alison1mackITV @EmilyMayTV @GBNEWS @MartinDaubney
@drsanjoykumar Can we also have a campaign against the practice of non medical staff….ie non psychiatrists passing themselves off as ‘clinicians’ or ‘clinical practitioners’, or ‘mental health practitioners’ with psychiatrists colluding with this practice by using these titles too?
@drsanjoykumar @nottsinquiry Would it surprise you that in this MDT there's barely any doctors? Why do you think it's "gp to kindly" so many times. Also an MDT stated someone needs antipsychotics without starting it. Risk dumping on the gp is what NELFT usually does unless someone is under HTT.
@medicalmodelbri @BMAResidents @jamesmurray_ldn @BreastCancer_UK @ClinOncDoc Cancer patients expect & deserve to see a clinical oncologist to oversee treatment. Why does UK have a clinical oncologist recruitment freeze when UK has 15% shortfall of oncologists, causing hugely expensive use of locums &outsourcing & creates lack of continuity for patients?
‼️‼️ BRITISH PUBLIC ‼️‼️ There’s a public consultation that you might not even be aware of which will impact YOU and your family . The @gmcuk is working hard to destroy medicine and PAs are working hard to keep the ‘associate’ title This is your opportunity to respond .
@Penisenvy999 @Cartermill65675 My impression is very different from that of Grok. Much younger than Grok suggests. Has a job in admin, possibly related to NHS where they just humour him & keep him on despite negligible contribution to work as feel sorry for him. Difficulty making relationships of any sort.
It certainly doesn’t speed up seeing specialists. Due to insufficient training ACPs often do not establish correctly whether a patient needs or doesn’t need to see a specialist or actually refers to the wrong specialist, as we are frequently hearing from 2ry care.
@mackey198 Advanced practice doesn’t deprive us as patients of anything, it increases our access and speeds up seeing specialists. It’s the single best development in UK healthcare since the NHS was established. Best bit is it’s going from strength to strength. 550 new jobs June/july
@Cartermill65675 You make me laugh so much, what a talent you have!
There was only one incredibly thick person in that engagement . If you look in any mirror you might recognise that person!
@Penisenvy999 @mackey198 Hahaha you should engage. You did so well last time. I understand if you won’t you did end up looking quite thick ☺️
Not sure if some of the RCs can be trusted.
@Janeajnet @Anisocyte @mackey198 2/If no intention to do so in future then the wording needs to refer only to Drs & awarding of CCTs should remain with RCs, FOR Drs. Then 'Consultant' title needs to be delineated.
Possibly via the ‘skills escalator’ mentioned in workforce ‘plans’ which when I first heard the term, thought it sounded like something out of Willie Wonka, and in reality is just as much of a fantasy in comparison with post grad training.
@DrJoFranklin @Anisocyte @mackey198 How can they get CCT for a T they’ve never started? It would be a CCT for something else entirely. Unbelievably frustrating nonsense.
@drsanjoykumar @nottsinquiry “Best care by the best people” sitting rather starkly above a letter that reads as: “hot potato passed on”. Box ticked, discharge initiated, collapse in care begins, and with it the disengagement and despair.
