"I think it is scandalous that the NHS is allowing the substitution of doctors by individuals without sufficient medical knowledge instead of the obvious response to doctor shortages: hiring more doctors." Dr Mel Ryan, BMA lead on preventing doctor substitution. Advanced practitioners are being used to cover doctor rota gaps across the NHS. Read more: theguardian.com/society/2026/a…

Us juvenile delinquents perform brain surgery for £43/hr, singlehandedly take care of multiple wards overnight for ~£23/hr, deliver babies in distress for £38/hr. Oh wait, no, sorry... that's what we're asking for, we actually earn much less. And some of us don't have jobs at all. So hey @wesstreeting, how about less bleating?

This is the cognitive dissonance that underlies the conflict. On the one hand you can top up and do ED. On the other doctors can't top up and do paramedicine. It is a perverse situation where you can only see skill mixing as appropriate in one direction. And this likely speaks to the fact that you may well be a very good paramedic where you can appreciate the skills and strengths required under the pressure, stress, and dynamism of the specific breadth of clinical decision making you may need to make in the clinical settings paramedics find themselves in. But does this expose a lack of understanding or appreciation for the need of broad based medicine in a hospital setting? The access to wider investigations (and clinical reasoning for using them), the interpretation of data in clinical context, the ability to coherently consult with specialists, and/or the ability to communicate with GPs.

Plumbers are worth £90 an hour, corporate lawyers are billed at £1000 an hour. Resident doctors deserve £22.

Surgical Resident Doc
Surgical Resident Doc@anonresidentd·
Performing an endoscopy without supervision does require consultant/SpR level knowledge & skills with extensive understanding of anatomy, physiology, pathology, management of pre, intra and post op complications. It is not just a simple task..
Chris@chrisweston1963

@docanonx @anonresidentd @mostafamorra1 @BMAResidents @fletchjack @TheBMA Who said anything about cutting people? Doing an endoscopy does not require consultant level knowledge. It certainly does not require consultant levels of pay. Lets follow this through to its ridiculous conclusion only consultants can take height, weight and blood pressure checks

Physician associates who assist doctors in GP surgeries and hospitals will now be known as assistants. Health Secretary Wes Streeting says this "better describes the role that they do". Read more ➡️ trib.al/aKsx2Nx

Trying to understand how we got to the point where we have to argue the idea that you need a medical degree to practice medicine Not only that, trying to convince others that qualifications & regulation matter in a safety critical industry for patients What do you even say 🤷🏻‍♂️

The GMC's duty of candour has still not been discharged. Key information has not yet been delivered to the Court. This is essential. The judge want to understand GMC decision-making. anaesthetistsunited.com/what-havent-th…

16:Wanted to be a doctor 26:Finished med school 28:Started core training The career means I… - Delay having kids - Quit hobbies - Miss many personal events - Constantly work on exams+applications Only to be told by some a 2 year PG degree is fine instead Make it make sense
Danny Wong (黄永年)@dannyjnwong

Other than when anaesthetists split away from surgeons as a specialty and when the intensivists decided to split away from us, I don't think there has been an issue that anaesthetists have felt so strongly about with reference to their professional identities as the issue of AAs.

Dr Ross Nieuwoudt@RossNieuwoudt·
in 1858,the GMC was founded on the principle that patients "... should be enabled to distinguish qualified from unqualified practitioners". They have failed in that duty. In 2022, they failed Emily Chesterton and her family. Tomorrow, they may fail you. #NoMoreEmilys
The BMA@TheBMA

It's day two of the case brought by the parents of Emily Chesterton and @AnaesUnited against the GMC.
 There must be no more stories like Emily’s, as we told ITV News yesterday. @Melissa_S_Ryan   Follow @TheDrMagazine for more updates

The PA who totally misdiagnosed Emily Chesterton which caused her death IS still working at a different GP Surgery to do locum PA work because she refused to have tighter supervision!
@medicalmodelwithabriochebun@medicalmodelbri

@sandycann2 She IS still working . She actually refused tighter supervision after Emily died and moved on to another GP surgery to do locum work .

Anaesthetists United@AnaesUnited·
Judge has recognised our case gets "right to the heart of the matter" and it may need to be extended for an extra day. Key point our team made was that the decision by the GMC to not set scope was reached with no identifiable decision-making process. And this despite the GMCs own survey, echoed by many others expressing concerns over scope, consent and supervision. #AUvsGMC

Often I don't comment on twitter, BUT the UK high court ruling today saying there is no confusion between doctors/physicians and PAs (Physician Associates) by misspelling on the first page @RCPhysicians calling them the Royal college of PAs is embarrassing beyond belief!
Catrin Jones@catiwat

@HealthRegLawyer @ShaunLintern (2) is surely a mistake? There is no Royal College of Physician Associates

Nomenclature around MAPs causes such confusion that even official court transcripts contain basic errors regarding it How on Earth are patients supposed to understand this? Unfortunately, many do not The consequences can be fatal Multiple cases highlight this @lengreview
