How big would you dream if you knew you couldn't fail? NHS & Private GP #TeamGP #BMA




We are only just uncovering the tip of the iceberg in terms of what harm non-medically trained healthcare workers have been inflicting on UK patients This is a ‘clinical endoscopist’ acting way outside any acceptable scope of practice 8mg midazolam & 175mcg of fentanyl FFS

🔴Dear public, Why would a NURSE be allowed to perform an endoscopy procedure (ERCP) + seriously harm/kill 68 patients in Rotherham NHS Trust @RotherhamNHS_FT 💀☠️ ⭕️ERCP is an invasive procedure strictly performed by consultant hepatobiliary surgeons. ⭕️The spineless doctors have also failed their patients by allowing this “self-confident” nurse consultant to even think about performing ERCPs. ⭕️She obfuscated her role and misled the patients. These are the repercussions of a flat hierarchy.

Been away for a few days from the world of Medical Politics Let me try to summarise: 1. @TheBMA sacrificed IMGs as a policy choice and ensured local grads got jobs. 738 IMGs were put on a reserve list without any forewarning Most shrugged their shoulders as "tough but isnt life that. Plus foreigners-meh" Reddit accounts said IMGs were useless- in fact- absolutely useless. 2. @wesstreeting hoped this would help with negotiations Didn't- BMA called strikes IMGs are wondering 'why strike' if no jobs anyway BMA then said 'all doctors are equal' and IMGs should support strikes. Mr. Streeting then said 'No more new training posts' IMGs in the LED posts-which were due to be converted- now don't know whether they have had a termination of contract or not. @NHSEngland nearly admitted LEDs were better value as didnt need training and thus less costly 3. In the interim, problems surfaced about ANP/ACP regards patient safety-similar to PAs And @gmcuk said 'Anyone can be a specialist' and continued their march to be a super-regulator. 4. The Royal Colleges continued cosplaying as ostriches. To an art form. And the circle of life continued. What have I missed? Ah- sorry- I nearly forgot 5. GPs- via @BMA_GP pretty much did a no-confidence vote in their national leaders in @NHSEngland Just a few days in the madness of the #NHS (NB: No criticism of anyone here- just a narrative. Before anyone jumps in with angst & anger)


The UK health secretary, Wes Streeting, has vowed to withdraw promised extra specialty training places unless resident doctors call off their next strike bmj.com/content/392/bm…

BREAKING: “I can sit here and confidently tell you the NHS is better today than it was when I came into office” Health Secretary Wes Streeting

There should be UK graduate prioritization with this strike too .Let UK graduates go first 😀. IMGs will consider joining later.
