Jim Parle - not a familiar name to many but was a key lobbyist and enabler of PA over reach - seeming grooming PA ambassadors and advising Nash. Doctors were up there as the worst offenders in this whole debacle and should have the humility to apologise.

and if you red the NHS staff survey reports, it is clear that jobbing frontline staff feel unable to raise concerns, frightened of consequences, or that their concerns will be ignored/dismissed and so feel marginalised
Just had a conversation with a doctor. A London A&E is already gaming the system They require PAs to discuss the patient with a Reg or Con before being seen The patient is now considered differentiated And they can see the patient as before Including majors and…
Shame we can't make it retrospective For say, the past 10 years

I am a haematology ACP. I am not a doctor and make this very clear. I am a nurse. I do not take part in being on reg rota. I work alongside the registrars and consultants and CNS’s. I have my own caseload of stable patients (MPN/ITP only). This job description makes me nervous
Oh no it isn't, @gmcuk 's Massey tried to interfere with scopes of practice proposed by some Royal Colleges because they might limit opportunities for MAPs. We have receipts.
If any PA wants to DM me in confidence and expose @pa_StephenNash and his disgusting practices, feel free.
This is disturbing I hear there are PAs who are critical of Nash & his @UMAPsUK NEC who have supposedly infiltrated every PA group & silenced any PA voices critical of them🥺 They feel Nash doesn’t represent them, but has been given voice on national stage due to his“links” 1/n
'Dr' Simon. I hope your expert testemonions on your sunfluencer website are not completely fictitious. The photos are all verifiable stock images and none of the names match with any practicing doctors. I hope you are not misleading the public.
I had a degree in Pharmacology before training as a PA. Add in my PA degree and 9 months of clinical practice and I still hadn’t scratched the surface of what we covered in pre-clinical year of GEM. Pharmacology + PA course also doesn’t make me ready to prescribe
Physician's Assistants continue to operate in the grey areas. They simply don't care if they confuse or mislead. The guidance is clear on introductions. "Physician's Assistant in General Practice" For the sake of patient safety and clarity why cling onto ambiguity?
I totally agree! I got told this constantly on my PA course. I decided to compare the PA curriculum to the medical curriculum and immediately realised there is a vast ocean between them. I left the course after realising we were being sold a lie.
Pls RT: If you are a PA or PA student wanting to apply to medicine, feel free to leave your details here to be added to an online mentorship group ran by myself and other PAs who have gone on to study medicine: forms.gle/VS9HBP4NZmsKS7… pls share among networks
This figure *chef's kiss* Even within the same university NO statistical correlation between their PAs & medical students or other nationally qualified doctors in assessed med knowledge/understanding ie all being trained to the same 'medical model' is quantified demonstrable BS
Here's something else interesting about the PA knowledge comparison study: If we plot performance by question, medical students & FY1s show nearly identical patterns (r=0.927), but PAs show virtually no correlation with either group (r=0.045, 0.008).
Notes from mid 2025, politely describing the failures of medicine to critically evaluate interventions before enthusiastically adopting them is now classed as ‘provocative’
'Professor' Jeannie Watkins has been appointed to a senior academic role in Wales. She committed a decade of academic malpractice for which she has been rewarded again. This is an absolute disgrace. @SwanseaUni standards matter. Any comment on why you support academic misconduct?
i am not prone to conspiracy theories but this is sinister agenda to undermine professional status &autonomy and employ people on the cheap who are easier to control and less "challenging" and independent it also fails to understand nature hard-won professional praxis/mastery
