We have just completed 165 life-saving cardiovascular procedures, transforming the lives of hundreds of families across Ethiopia. But this mission was more than a series of interventions—it was a step forward in a broader vision for sustainable cardiovascular care. A defining…
So Wes has; 🔸Failed to deliver last year’s deal 🔹Refused to talk with RDC since May 🔸Pretended RDC didn’t want to talk 🔹Agreed to talk but not on pay 🔸Now wants strikes called off to talk having offered absolutely nothing?! Meet the new boss, he’s just like the old boss.
At today's RDC meeting, we’ve voted to go ahead with strike action. Last week when we met @wesstreeting we were open to finding solutions to restore pay and improve working conditions. Today, we still do not have a credible offer on the table @Melissa_S_Ryan @RossNieuwoudt

Except that those who were PAs and then retrained as doctors say they barely scratched the surface of the actual medical curriculum in retrospect. I know who I trust on this.
This is originally from Karen Roberts who was course director at St George’s before moving to BSMS. “we probably cover 80% of the medical school curriculum in 2yrs. It is incredibly intense” 4:45 mins in m.youtube.com/watch?v=WLyCkW…

All tiered rotas must end. They assert false equivalences and unsafe interchangeability posing risk to patients. They blur the professional boundaries of all professional groups being clumped together. They also undermine each professional groups’ collective bargaining power.
ACPs on the Haematology Registrar rota………one of the toughest of all specialities with arguably the most unwell patients in all of medicine.🤯 Haematology experience is desirable but not essential. 🤯
"We do not accept the recommendations of the Leng Review" says PA Group. And that is why AU are fighting for the GMC to enforce a defined scope of practice. Please help us achieve our target crowdjustice.com/case/stop-misl…
My 6 year old throws more constructive tantrums than this Every time @UMAPsUK issues a press release it makes the ongoing employability & feasibility of assistants more problematic It really is time PA’s found a constructive spokesperson to work with the medical profession

Chronic angina. Worsening despite multiple anti-anginals. What's your strategy? Microcatheter upfront? Wire choice? Rota or shockwave? Diag protection wire? DEB or DES? Interventionalist usually needs to do more thinking than direct stent😊 #ACCFit #Cardiotwitter #medtwitter

When I see you eating carrots, I will know that the hope has won!
This is devastating news. I sadly suspect this will become more commonplace too. Fix this @wesstreeting. From this year. This cycle.
@PCRonline @angioplastyorg For IC fellows What serious complication of AMI do you anticipate looking at this angiogram?
“…one in five 🇺🇸 has at least one medical debt collection account on their credit reports…the problem disproportionately affects people of color, the CFPB has found: 28% of Black and 22% of Latino people in the U.S. carry medical debt vs 17% of white people.”
Removing medical debts from consumer credit reports was expected to increase the credit scores of millions of families by an average of 20 points, according to the bureau. MORE: wthr.com/article/news/n… (📸: Adobe Stock)
When you replace a doctor with a PA this is what happens. All the extra investigations and referrals cost Money. PAs and even ACPs have a huge hidden cost
