Hi @thecarolemalone 👋 where’s your outrage and foaming at the mouth when patient safety is compromised on non-strike days? Can you blame resident doctors for this?

PAs pushed & campaigned & lobbied for first name change, GMC registration PAs have taken opportunities, teaching, training, & jobs from medical students & doctors at every level Let's stop pretending that they are incapable of speaking for themselves

From posts on X, PA/Resident relationship seems to be embedded with idea that the latter are subordinate to the former in many hospitals. How many noctors will adjust to a reversal of that positioning, and how will it be enabled?

Major failing of Leng report is absence of recommendation to make GMC registration mandatory from 6 months hence. Delaying until December 2026 makes a mockery of "name change to improve safety". GMC managed to register half the cohort in last 6/12.

What name is to be applied to PAs in 2 yr postgrad hospital stint? Junior PA? Trainee PA? FY PA? Time to start calling FY/SpR/CT Drs trainee consultants in GP/hospital medicine.

Is DHSC attempting to align 2yrs as hospital PA with FY1-2? Overlapped training perhaps? Aiming to further blur differences from Drs in this guise? Advanced PAs to replace other flavours of ACP ultimately as well as MBBS?

My 'gold plated pension' came at the expense of spending 20% of my entire working life on call and working most of it. That's 20% of family life cancelled, declined, interrupted meals, Christmas, school plays, but let's hope someone is there when you need Intensive Care.

New anesthesiology malpractice case out today. Anesthesiologist refuses to start a crash C section bc there’s a uro stent case going (with a CRNA), waiting for the 2nd call/backup anesthesiologist to arrive.

If nothing else, a name change and reappraisal of role should force assistants to withdraw from teaching, lecturing or examining MBBS folk. They can concentrate on other assistants.

Leng said " it's not helpful to have trained healthcare professionals made redundant" in AA webinar - how will she act to make sure that threat to Drs of same this summer is evaporated??

So, we're paying nearly half a billion for *unqualified* staff while actual doctors are ghosting shifts? Seems like the NHS is practicing a new form of alchemy: turning gold (doctor training) into lead (PA/AA salaries).

Front page of the @thetimes @ShaunLintern except the headline is COMPLETELY fabricated. As confirmed by both of the interviewees @RossNieuwoudt @Melissa_S_Ryan (& admitted by @ShaunLintern) they (nor @TheBMA) did NOT threaten to "bring the NHS to a standstill". RT if you agree…

The day doctors collectively say "no my license doesn't allow that" is the day they look for other work.

GMC have stopped caring about your safety as a patient. Help remind them of what's important in healthcare - support Anaesthetist's United case by pledging financial support now.

Yet here we are . @RCoANews @RCoAPresident @Assoc_Anaes @NHSEngland allowing a patient to be forced into being anaesthetised by an AA or no surgery at all x.com/_eva_smith/sta… @NavinaEvans RESIGN

There may be an educational difference, let me see..............

I'm afraid to say I think PAs have to be furious with themselves for buying into it

It's sad to reflect that I had my career during the 'Golden Age' of the NHS, as it seemed pretty s..t a lot of the time. But compared to present......
