You are correct Valerie. It does not in fact always constitute as IA. In this case if it did it would not break the contract and would actually in fact only remove trade union protection for any action they allegedly breached their contract with. It would not, however, remove…

WtR may or may not be “industrial action”. I know that isn’t helpful, but the law is confusing on this. (1) it depends on the contract; (2) if it constitutes a “withdrawal of goodwill” then it can be ind action and a breach of contract - BT plc v Ticehurst and Thompson (1992)

Oh dear... It's almost like it was planned from the very start...

Can someone please explain to me how the BMA is going to mitigate the conflict of interest when it has to investigate it's own member for alleged misconduct/breach of good medical practice and represent their member against itself at the same time? Genuinely interested.

Remind me the next time someone calls it a toxic debate to show the person the stream of immature dross we have to deal with that is little more than childish bullying... A debate is two sided and has arguments of merit to be discussed. Being body shamed and name calling is an…

The mask doth slip... This bullying campaign is starting to become inherently transparent with the Leng submissions from key organisations lacking the depth that would warrant the damage of the statements made...

Physician associates to sue GPs over 'national bullying campaign' The legal battle is the latest chapter in an increasingly bitter row between associates and influential sections of the medical community inews.co.uk/news/health/nh…

The level of targeted harassment against those of us who stand up to this bullying is beyond unacceptable. Staff members and UMAPs leaders are being hounded out of their workplaces, and those who challenge these tactics are subjected to relentless personal attacks. The…

Funny how much effort is going into smearing an "inconsequential" trade union this week; almost as petty as when a so-called champion of justice tried to stop PAs from getting legal representation. For clarity: the "Ltd company" is just an admin body. The union is UMAPs TU, and…

Good to see brave GPs like @ClareGerada speak out. I have resigned my fellowship of the RCGP- a bullying organisation doesn’t represent me

Good to see the BMA addressing the behaviour of it's officers, reps and members. I look forward to hearing the steps it's taking to remind people of how to remain civil whilst advocating for their beliefs. lbc.co.uk/news/uk/nhs-ph…

Amazing... apart from the threat, the obvious nuance of the fact these people have had their jobs obliterated and that there are NO PA jobs nationally, hasn't quite reached home yet. These people would grossly never have the opportunity to work as a PA again after what has…

Recent claims regarding the financing of our legal cases are factually incorrect. The majority of Physician Associates (PAs) involved in this case approached UMAPs after the events in question, requiring us to step in and find ways to protect their rights. A significant number…

😂😂😂 no... Imagine what would happen if as doctors you could have these really experienced professionals with multi professional skillsets coming to help you! ... Let's call them... associates... We could all work together to make things better for patients and doctors! And…

This is so over dramatic it’s ridiculous, no one is replacing doctors, PA’s works along side doctors and trying to scare the public that it’s anything more than that is unethical. I will be contacting the Leng review to tell them of the excellent experiences I’ve had with PA’s.

I mean... I guess that's a compliment and a vote of confidence that you think our data collection system is that good it must be done by the big orgs 😂 I'll feed it back to the team. Also, everyone at the review was asked to collect evidence.
