President of the RCGP having a live meltdown on Twitter defending PAs whilst her colleagues are unemployed…

@UKGastroDr @NHSEngland @RCPhysicians @parthaskar @DrLKVaughan What would you say about paramedics working in general practice or independent nurse prescribers. Why are we picking on such as small group of professionals. In curious 🧐 really am. It seems like scapegoating one group who we are ‘othering’. 😡

Dr Sarmy™️🩺🏏@Dr__Sarmy·
I have debriefed PAs as a GP & I shocked that after 2yrs training they are allowed to see undifferentiated pts in primary care, with poor supervision, even remote in some cases. They are well out of their depth despite what you say. I am not anon. There is no dishonesty in my claim & experience. Local practices are using them as GP replacements. Partners have admitted they wish they could employ a GP, but opt for a PA as they are “cheaper”. This is cost-cutting healthcare - own it for what it is!!

Thanks to Dr Dan Poulter MP for securing last night’s important adjournment debate on Physician Associates (PAs), and for outlining serious patient safety concerns over the expansion of these roles.

This letter has no force or effect. Platitudes without effective action don’t address doctors’ concerns to protect patients. Its time to; 🔹reverse the name changes 🔸nationally define a restrictive scope 🔹ban their use on doctors’ rotas 🔸regulate them elsewhere to the GMC

Still waiting on the @rcgp to comment & clarify as to why they have been promoting the use of Locum PAs as GP replacements under the ARRS scheme. The silence is deafening.

Jemima@DrPuddleduck·
It should be mandatory for rota-coordinators to shadow nights and on calls. I flip between days and nights SIX TIMES WITHIN SEVEN WEEKS, and my requests for 3 days off in the middle was summarily declined. There is zero understanding of why I'm upset.

Chris Mason, "Prime Minister Rishi Sunak chose to deliver a political punchline about trans people in the presence of Brianna's mother" Jeremy Hunt, "No, you are taking his comments out of content.. He made it clear the respect he has for Brianna Ghey's mother" CM, "The PM has used a line about trans people as a political punchline, in the presence of a grieving mother" JH, "That is not what happened and you know that" CM, "She was in the chamber, in Parliament, and the Prime Minister has used that line" JH, "Chris, that is not what happened" CM, "Should the Prime Minister apologise?" JH, "I've answered that question" CM, "So he's not going to?" JH, "I've answered that question"

I'm afraid I don't buy this for a moment. These are hollow words when PAs are, right now, openly being used to replace doctors on on-call rotas (& other settings). Actions are what matter, not words. What do these words actually mean when PAs are, literally, replacing doctors?

@UKGastroDr @RCPhysicians visits, postgraduate “deanery” visits, Foundation School visits, and @CareQualityComm visits could specifically enquire and put findings in their reports…these could include examples of good practice as well as unacceptable situations.

With regards to the PA issue…. My prediction for 2024. (Still pending an EGM & RCP guidance on scope) We will have clear statements & guidance from NHSE, RCP, and perhaps even GMc, stating that: “PAs must not replace Doctors” However, senior clinicians running services, short staffed, on tight budgets will choose PAs over Drs (trainees, LEDs, SAS etc) as an easy way out of a problem. Ultimately we will all have to hold senior clinicians & trusts to account over the decisions they make.

I spent half an hour with a distraught patient today. They waited 9 months for OPA to be seen by a PA. PA couldn’t understand the recent scan result and the patient was no further forward in their treatment and symptoms not addressed. The NHS is being diluted all around us.

Very welcome ⬇️ but who’s going to police making Primary Care retreat from having ARRS PAs seeing unselected patients with minimal/remote/delayed supervision, which surely is almost by definition using them as doctor substitutes?

Been through a particular case I REALLY think the public should ask who they are seeing IF its a Physician Associate? Who is supervising them & how close they are for advice/help etc? This is-categorically-a patient safety issue I say so as one of the national #Diabetes leads
