Now that the largest failed quango @NHSEngland has been abolished, it is time to disband another failed government extension, the @gmcuk The public and the medical profession deserve a regulator that is fit for purpose & specific for qualified Doctors only

US based training schemes actually have their OWN residents, who don't rotate off somewhere else every few months and represents both a real investment for them to cherish and train, and are the future of their service and hospital. UK training is the literal opposite.
US based training schemes proudly present their resident doctors. It should happen more often in the UK. Nice to see a good example.
I'm sorry but it's a nonsense that 'decreasing pressure on A&E' is adding value to that which EM doctors provide. This adds NO VALUE AT ALL that simply training and employing more EM doctors would not add. 'Decreasing pressure' literally means just doing medical work.
#askforadoctor RCGP Reg Chair Why do people think they have a right to career progression which involves plating doctor without going to medical school. Medicine is about patients not ones good given right to career progression
'80%' of a real medical degree?! In 2 years? At unregulated, non-standardised mickey mouse degree-mill courses? With 100% pass rates! I can't believe it's not butter!
Physician associate claims to have attended ‘medical school’ and studied 80% of graduate medicine in 2 yrs EIGHTY PERCENT! Is this what you’re teaching your PA students @CityStGeorges @CityStG_Health ?
And I confidently predict this does not cause any increase in relative rates of hospital-acquired infection.
In the USA doctors wear jewellery and nail varnish… Including surgeons Just sayin…
I'm a cynic: I fully believe that the Leng Review is primarily a vehicle for getting prescribing & ionising radiation requesting rights for 'advanced' PAs, & the rest of the review is window-dressing (much of which govt/NHS won't adopt) to distract doctors & patients.
I'm not a Resident Doctor. I am privileged enough to pay for a cleaner. I pay my cleaner £25 per hour. Resident Doctors are asking for less than that. My cleaner makes my house smell nice. A Resident Doctor will save your life. #Strikehard
Some of the British public feel so *entitled* to the labour of doctors that their idea of how to retain them in the NHS isn't to incentivise them, but to legally enslave them & criminalise them if any try to advocate for their profession and pay. Truly delusional. UK is cooked.
We could change the law and ban the NHS from taking industrial action. Add in a ten in prison for agitators and the removal of pensions on top. Leave the country if leave the union. You can be replaced, just like driverless trains are a reality…doctors are not untouchable
Why yes, Bank of Scotland. This is most DEFINITELY a scam - sadly it's a *mandatory* scam; a protection racket. Credit to one 'DrBatmannn' on medreddit! reddit.com/r/doctorsUK/co…
It's always weird to see these bizarre claims that the committee is "hard left" or "corbynistas". This is a wave of young people aged typically between 23-35 who see Broken Britain for what it is. Raising rent, raising house prices, raising energy prices, raising leisure…
Not even that: FPR is significantly lower than a competitive, western market rate. And if the NHS can't afford even this discount rate? This is not doctors' problem...
To hear Polly against resident doctor IA is disappointing. If her argument is right, the NHS cannot afford doctors at competitive, western market rates. Are we permanently first-tier education and second-tier recompensed? We decide. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
For once I agree with this self-described ethicist. It’s true. The trade off for the sacrifice that medicine requires used to be the guarantee of financial security, appreciation from the public, and a sense of fulfilment from doing meaningful work. Literally none of this is…

Resident doctors’ massive student loans are uplifted by Govt by RPI +3% annually. Yet using RPI for pay negotiations is unreasonable?! Many of workers’ costs are increased using RPI or higher, yet we’re told our wages can’t?! What’s good for the goose, is good for the gander.
Saw today that after 3 years working as a doctor, extra shifts, long weeks, the 9% of my salary that goes to student loan repayments hasn't made a dent and my student debt has grown by £15,000 😂
Add @RCPhysicians to the 'to be destroyed' list immediately underneath the GMC. It's had so many chances to admit and atone for its unabashed lies and corruption of the last few years, and instead has doubled down on its cronyism and betrayal of the profession. An utter disgrace.
About time @RCPhysicians came tumbling down. Disgraceful actions against a true advocate for patients and the profession.
The @RCPhysicians has been run into the ground. No lessons have been learnt. The leadership is out of touch. This is #NotMyRCP and this decision against @parthaskar must be rescinded immediately
FINALLY- Decision @RCPhysicians investigation Removal from the Council of an elected member Barring standing for elections 12 months By a panel which is unknown - with zero right to reply. (To be ratified by Council on 15/7) For exposing chicanery around PAs by senior…
This is absolutely insane. Clinical leadership cannot be provided by anybody than an actual medical doctor. Doctors need to stop being kind and remind everybody that the people with the expertise to diagnose diseases and devise treatment strategies are doctors.
It's about time that all the Royal Colleges (and obviously BMA) stood up and said a flat-out 'NO' to this. Not 'we have reservations' or 'concerns'. Just 'NO', we refuse to engage with this de-professionalisation.
I can't begin to wrap my head around the implications of this statement. Fundamentally misunderstands: - intimate connection between clinical decision making and task - how professionals are trained - what professionals DO - what regulators do (regulate professionals!)
