But they didn't just abandon Drs They abandoned the PAs who they spent the past decade lying to. And now we have a cohort of graduates facing anxiety around job losses while College Leaders clink wine glasses in Grand Halls congratulating eachother for a job well done Cowards

@Parody_RCGP I'm not driving Thomas the Tank Engine so not a chance of that

10 year old me.

A PA graduate who describes their qualification as “Medicine” is now employed by the GMC to investigate doctors’ fitness to practise. They are not themselves registered with the regulator they serve. You genuinely could not make this up.

I will never fault the UK for prioritizing their medical graduates over IMGs when it comes to training posts. Nigerians acting like they do not understand why will always be funny to me. In 2006, OAU denied a colleague admission into medicine despite very high scores in JAMB and post UTME bcos he did not come from the catchment area. South westerners who scored less than him all gained admission. Infact virtually all federal universities in all the geopolitical zones in Nigeria do this nonsense and indigenes benefit from it so let's not start preaching meritocracy all of a sudden.

Im not taking a dig at Nigerian IMGs as it is not just a Nigerian thing. Im only saying prioritization should not be a new concept to a Nigerian bcos it is embedded in every facet of our society and we cheer for it everyday. And the argument about fairness is the one I find funny. The aim of every govt is to improve the chances of their citizens first when resources are scarce, not to be fair. If we had to compete with Cameroonians for employment into the Nigerian civil service, we would have seen protests everywhere. People who are old enough to remember the "Ghana must go" saga will tell you more. Finally prioritization in medical training is not a UK invention. If anything, they caught up late with the rest of the world. The US , Canada and most of the first world have been prioritizing since sumtin sumtin BC. Their graduates have student loans they need to pay back to the govt and that won't happen if the govt cant guarantee them jobs. I wish we would add these nuances when making our arguments.

@Doc_IonaCollins It's normally propped up against the fire exit

I didn’t know that YNP means You’re (the) Next Patient and this refers to the additional ward(s) bed added to a full ward.

@doctor_rahmeh @mantealike2 We can all deal in extremes "Treating all women who have stillbirths as potential criminals who need to be forensically investigated is abhorrent" Highly emotive and fraught moral topics are not served well with hyperbolic arguments

The UK House of Lords has just legalised abortion up to birth. Women can now end the life of their unborn baby at any stage, for any reason, without legal consequences. A truly dark day for Britain.

There will be many unnecessary deaths in Alaska because of this. This is what they have planned globally, btw. They used to incentivise real doctors to go to remote places with good compensation - now they send half trained pseudodoctors.

@DocEmUK Private companies make a shit tonne of easy money from mandatory training Imagine effectively throwing a power point together and making passive income me from it Absolutely genius! Hence it continues and worsens

The use of the term consultant by non doctors is a clear attempt to subvert, CCT/CESR has clearly defined standards and represents an important achievement. I believe those individuals with these titles have a lot to offer, but they are not consultants.

@KatPaton13 I once did an US guided cannula without an ultrasound

Successful USS-guided cannula at 8am (end of night shift 2 of 4)? Make me an anaesthetist already

@Doc_IonaCollins @Dr_XYZ @Shr_Nottingham Shhh No-one likes a party pooping spoil sport youtu.be/QSVyyykaEOo?t=…

@Shr_Nottingham @Dr_XYZ Faithless played on Spotify yesterday and its song “Mass Destruction” contains the line “inaction is a weapon of mass destruction”. If you’ve never listened to it, I recommend. Not a new message, but I think the song has stood the test of time very well. open.spotify.com/track/7syjiyRg…

“Tell me about a time you said Hell No when everyone else was smiling & nodding…….” This should be the first question to anyone about to sit on a patient safety task force No specific context, but people that just say yes can & will change nothing

Seeing a lot of shots being fired between different people vying for council votes A small reminder that we're all on the same team, and some of these people you may have to work closely alongside Then again, who doesn't love the drama?

@parthaskar @LukeAmos__ Framing One could equally say don't make the less shitty situation the enemy of the shitty situation Lots of dreadful options. The only one that would satisfy everyone is more jobs… but given we've all been banging our heads against that wall to no avail the Q is what to do?

@LukeAmos__ one wrong never made another one right too.

As I understand? The number of International Medical Graduates who have now been put on reserve list for UKFPO - after spending time over last few years preparing for it via exams etc? Is 738. That’s the collateral damage Lives overturned as retrospective rules click into gear. Done with zero warning. Organisations which have made money off them via exams, registration fees, union fees: @RCPhysicians @gmcuk @TheBMA Facts. They are of course incredibly valued by all the organisations Which is nice. Extra posts to mitigate? Nope 👎🏽 Extra posts for lesser trained people? Oh yes 👍🏽

@Shepardn7n @NHSE_WTE @HNYPartnership @NHSEngland @TheBMA @dru_jlh You're quite the unsavoury character screenshotting his profile to try and bully him and others with false allegations of racism Don't worry, when the actual racists come knocking we'll still be here to take your side you odious toad

@NHSE_WTE @HNYPartnership @NHSEngland This is an ST1 who has last weel gone on a racist and xenophobic triad. Targeting immigrants/nhs workforce for asking for fair rules. is this what you trian ur future doctors for? intolerance? now he has locked his profile. @TheBMA @dru_jlh

Some reflections on the UKGP/IMG prioritisation debate - as an IMG and BMA representative. 🧵

🚨STRIKE DATE ANNOUNCEMENT🚨 @TheBMA staff are taking strike action on Friday 27th & Saturday 28th March 2026 @GMBLondonRegion picket lines will be held from 8am-2pm on 27th & 9-11am on 28th All BMA members that wish to show solidarity with staff are welcome #FairPayattheBMA

We will still reach you Every one of the organisations that are running from accountability Don't worry

Very poor from @SKinnock. I know a GP who triaged an urgent case and rightly directed the pt to A&E. Pt refused to go and informed the ICB who demanded the practice see them. Practice had no appointments left so were threatened with a breach notice. This nonsense is on you.

@SebPillon @DrJoFranklin I had better yesterday. We think this is a renal cancer please consider CT with contrast. How much risk and hand off and delay and cost @wesstreeting @DrSteveTaylor @Parody_RCGP @doctor_katie this has got sillly now
