Tomorrow, my book, The Lost Generation of COVID-19 — published by @routledgebooks, will be released. Available through various outlets. The book is a culmination of research over 3-years, exploring how the COVID-19 pandemic has wrought unparalleled disruption: altering the…
The unanswerable question: Why do Physician Assistants exist, when we have Doctor’s Assistants? The latter being irreplaceable and invaluable where deployed, for a fraction of the cost of a PA: a useless entity. Expand DAs and pay them their worth! skillsforhealth.org.uk/wp-content/upl…
The unprecedented benefit of Sure Start to British Society: my article for the @thefabians ✍🏽 Evidencing unparalleled health and social gains for the most vulnerable children and young people in society, based on our recent paper in @bmj_latest.
Renaming PAs to physician assistant may reduce confusion, but the rest of the Leng review is a whitewash. No national scope. Prescribing rights. Ordering imaging. Seeing undifferentiated pts in all but name. This isn’t reform. It’s expansion by stealth. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
The @lengreview isn’t science, it’s sclerotic garbage. The name change is nothing more than a cheap concession to doctors, before a barrage of measures that will irrevocably destroy the medical profession and the lives of patients across the country. Propaganda piece!
1/ Now the embargo has lifted, I’ve had time to read the @lengreview in full. While some celebrate minor cosmetic wins, I see the formal entrenchment of a parallel, underqualified medical workforce — built without medical training.

My article for @NurseryWorld on the importance of the Sure Start programme; and 27-years on, why it matters now more than ever — to provide unparalleled health and social gains for the most vulnerable children in society. nurseryworld.co.uk/content/featur…
Medicine is politics; it always has been. The notion of the medical profession being “radicalised” and “politicised” is nonsensical garbage. I point you in the direction of one of my medical heroes, Rudolf Virchow: medicine is, always has been, and should be, political:
Corrupt and complicit: no single individual has done more damage to the medical profession and patients, alike. Will Navina Evans apologise?

“We’ve never gone on strike” Okay, Robert… Circa. 1975:
'They have a duty to consult their members and they didn't.' Lord Winston explains why he's quit the BMA over resident doctor strikes, stressing they've taken the 'nuclear option'.
But equally is there a “precedent in trade union history” for a 30% real-terms pay cut since 2008? Resident doctors have lost a lot. When you take that much from doctors, you lose them. Lose doctors, and patients lose care. Surely wanting back what’s been taken from you isn’t…
BMA strikes are unnecessary and unreasonable. There isn’t a precedent in British trade union history for calling a strike after a 28.9% pay rise - let alone a five day strike. The NHS is hanging by a thread they’re threatening to pull.
Imagine someone nicks £40 from your £100. They give you £20 back, then call you greedy for asking for the rest. That’s what doctors are facing. They are being paid 20% less in real terms than they were in 2008. Full pay restoration is not an unreasonable demand.
It is highly likely that dangerous mistakes like this, by PAs are being deliberately covered up by Trusts throughout the UK as they do not want the danger to patients from using PAs inappropriately in dr roles exposed by the media!
🚨Collusion, Cover up, Corruption: The PA project has all the hallmarks of a National Scandal. This wider agenda is why, irrespective of noble intent, the Leng Review is doomed to fail. We’ll only realise the true danger once all the morbid damage is done:
According to Pulse’s data; Wealthy areas get real doctors, and deprived areas get the dangerous medical replacement experiment with risks to patients and the licenses of few doctors who remain in those deprived communities. Not all appointments in general practice are equal.
1. I achieved these dreams as a working class lad from a state school- the son of immigrants, i was born in longsight Manchester (one of the top 5% most deprived areas in the UK) i was the first person in my family to get an education past the age of 16 (and am still the only…
It’s not talent that is unevenly distributed in our society, it is opportunity. I’m determined to smash through the class ceiling in medicine, to make sure that working class kids from backgrounds like mine and @bphillipsonMP can achieve their dreams 👇🏻 thesun.co.uk/health/3563732…
Just another day in the NHS, @wesstreeting. NHS workers deserve a safe and dignified working environment. The crumbling and dilapidated NHS estate is unsafe and not fit for purpose — it hasn’t been for the last four decades!
A perfect description of how @nedwards_1 and I have called a 'model of attrition' arise. A consultant in a small service retires. Others leave too, cos work is harder. The service is on deathbed. Impossible to recruit, cos who wants to work in a dying service? Letting the 1/
The trust had lost its ERCP service as those consultants retired and r moved. Was hard to replace them. This nurse had been trained elsewhere and seemed to fill the gap. I was stunned they thought this was ok…
He was the only nurse ERCP trainee in Europe… For good reason.
It’s a scandal that PAs replace GPs anywhere. But it’s utterly intolerable that these dangerously undertrained “associate” roles are disproportionately replacing doctors in working class communities. As an alleged Labour politician, this should bother you @wesstreeting
Those in poorest health often receive the poorest quality healthcare. It flies in the face of the values the NHS was founded on: to be there for everyone when you need it, regardless of your ability to pay. We’re going to tackle this injustice 👇🏻 thetimes.com/article/b70800…
