*NEWS* There is something freudian about this. 12 months in the “sin-bin” As adjudged by @RCPhysicians panel - as a form of punishment for exposing ‘chicanery’ around PAs - as subsequently shown in @TheKingsFund investigation Vindicated by @lengreview and now High Court- see below. 12 months- Ghosted from RCP meetings, ignorance of documents written during time on Council etc etc. Many asked me to walk away. “Why bother” Yet? I never have- from anything And am back now. With zero regrets for work done to stop expansion of PAs without regulation- encouraged by the RCP. 12 months is nothing in a journey to protect the public. And bar a few dinner parties? Little lost. As I said? This arc isn’t complete yet. Amidst all the grief- I still have time. It’s good to be back- my lack of respect is never for the RCP But individuals who have lowered the bar over the years. It’s been a while- hello RCP Much love. Partha Kar FRCP @djnicholl @mmamas1973 @valhumphreys51

Not fussed about the BMA side of things Am more interested in ensuring healthcare has people who are trained and work to scope And that’s what the Leng Review is about Not satisfying the hubris of individuals who feel they can work beyond their competence. Inspite of a national review

@parthaskar @Anisocyte @medicalmodelbri Yes, UMAPs case thrown out - much like the BMA’s and AU’s cases were - Generally too much ‘see you in court’ all round. JR rarely a useful way to resolve issues. It’s only that BMA case went as far as CoA so senior judicial guidance on meaning of ‘medical professional’

@Anisocyte As you know the q. was whether or not PAs and AAs were ‘medical professionals’ & here is the Court of Appeal’s answer: (1) they are professionals & (2) they provide services in connection with the practice of medicine. This explains their role well Screenshots provided

@medicalmodelbri @BeckyHall016 @rcgp The RCP in England realised the whopper of a misstep the Faculty of PAs was and shuttered it completely at the end of 2024 - including making the previously held voluntary register unsearchable.

2 questions that @BeckyHall016 refused to answer yesterday despite being asked multiple times : 1) are you medically qualified? 2) Are you working according to @rcgp scope of practice ? We await a response

Rebecca@BeckyHall016

@medicalmodelbri @mmaryJ @pa_StephenNash It's ironic to now call PAs "medically unqualified" when the RCGP spent years shaping the profession, its curriculum and assessment standards. I met those standards, was deemed competent to practice, and have worked safely ever since. What changed—my competence, or the politics?

@parthaskar @Anisocyte Dr Kar I’m afraid you are wrong to assume I’m ‘battling’ for anyone. I’m simply commenting on what the Court of Appeal said in BMA v GMC having been asked by @medicalmodelbri about the UMAPS JR. I comment on other JR cases but w/o level of interest from MedX!

Rayner ‘will take some persuading’ to go to health….

Andy Burnham's policy blitz next week as he seeks to get his Premiership started with a bang: * Cost of living: Energy bill cuts - possibly removing VAT or pushing older wind and solar farms onto fixed-price contracts. Sounds like they're looking at cuts to bus fares across the board - could we see the return of the £2 cap? * Public control of water and energy companies. Doesn't sound like full-blown nationalisation. Mutualisation has been discussed with emphasis on ensuring local areas have control * North Sea oil and gas: Burnham will make a day one announcement on intention to have more drilling. What form that takes is not yet clear - Rosebank/ Jackdaw, tiebacks, new drilling licences are all on the table. Sounds like a significant shift * Social care: Burnham intent on 'grasping the nettle'. Sounds like he wants to build a cross-party consensus. Last time he held talks privately with Andrew Lansley before the Tories turned on him publicly over 'death tax'. He has learned the lesson and will be upfront in his approach * Council housebuilding: Burnham's language shifted subtly in his speech on Friday, as @PickardJE picked up, to extend to both council housing and social housing. Either way it sounds like he intends to repurpose and bolster the £39billion budget for social and affordable homes * No 10 North: Devolution will be at the heart of his pitch. He's going to spend part of the week at the new No 10 North site in Manchester to symbolise his approach. It sounds like they're co-opting one of the GCHQ buildings * The winners: Shabana Mahmood expected to be Chancellor. Lou Haigh gets CDL. Johnny Reynolds gets beefed up business department after DSIT is scrapped. Lucy Powell in line to be DPM although discussions ongoing. Anneliese Midgley expected to become chair of the Labour Party. Wes Streeting could return to health but is also being mooted for MOD * Angela Rayner would take 'some persuading' to go to health. An ally pointed to recent interventions on devolution, regional inequality and the cost of living, including proposals on social care that focus on local government and mayors. Not clear if she will get housing though - Miatta Fahnbulleh linked to role * Some of Starmer’s most loyal allies are expected to leave government entirely, including Steve Reed, the housing secretary; Darren Jones, the chief secretary to the prime minister; Peter Kyle, the business secretary; Lord Hermer, the attorney-general; and Liz Kendall, the science and technology secretary. The future of David Lammy, the deputy prime minister and justice secretary, is also unclear thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

If you have read all the nonsense about 'Why is this person Helen or why is that person Achilles' ? Ignore all of that. And go and watch #TheOdyssey An experience like no other. Damon, Hathaway will get all the plaudits Keep an eye out for Samantha Morton- flawless and John Leguizamo- outstanding. This will be a blockbuster of huge proportions- even with that R rating. Nolan is absolutely a tier above all else. A++ @Luiz_Fernando_J

As I have said many a time? The healthcare system in this country is awash with Dunning-Kruger Yet- it isn't the fault of the individual alone. It's also because many a GP leader have encouraged colleagues to think such. As has @rcgp with their past policies and their former Presidents etc And here we are. If that's how you feel GPs are trained- why indeed is there a surprise when many feel 'we can do their job'? For the record? Here is how you get to be a newly qualified GP. And me-as a Consultant for 18 years would be less trained than a newly qualified GP - to be a GP. Yet? The belief in the tweet is simply- stunning @Parody_RCGP @VictoriaTzB @DrSelvarajah @doctor_katie @CoastingGP @padsbigsis Link: bmj.com/careers/articl…

@Melissa_S_Ryan @jamesmurray_ldn Is it reasonable to assume that a PA with 10 years of supervised clinical experience is inherently less safe or knowledgeable in every scenario than a newly qualified GP?

@Luiz_Fernando_J agreed on all counts. You watch some movies- and go "Yup- this is gonna be big". And this certainly was that. The scale is simply immense. We are blessed to be in the times of Nolan.

But the biggest conquest of Odysseus in his European journey was at the British #BoxOffice, where #ChristopherNolan’s Epic #TheOdyssey, despite its 15A rating, scored a MYTHOLOGICAL $5.8M FRI on BIGGEST Opening Day of 2026 in the UK (beating #ToyStory5’s $5.5M, which included $1.2M THU Previews, #ProjectHailMary’s $5.2M FRI Opening Day, which included $2.7M early screenings & $860k THU previews, & #TheSuperMarioGalaxyMovie’s 4.4M WED Opening Day, which was also PURE) More importantly, it’s beaten #Oppenheimer’s $4.2M FRI Opening Day back in 2023 as Nolan’s non-Batman films BIGGEST Opening Day, and it’s his #2 BIGGEST Op Day overall, only below #TheDarkKnightRises. It has also beaten #AvatarFireAndAsh’s $4.1M, #AvatarTheWayOfWater’s $4.5M & even #Wicked & #TheSuperMarioBrosMovie’s $4.8M opening days as #9 BIGGEST Opening Day Post-Covid, only below #MultiverseOfMadness & #DeadpoolAndWolverine’s 6M, #NoTimeToDie’s $6.4M, #TheBatman’s $6.6M, #Barbie’s $8.4M, #WickedForGood’s $8.6M, #TopGunMaverick*’s $10M & #NoWayHome’s $10.1M #FIFAWorldCup FINAL and hot weather on SUN might hold it back a bit, but even so still Eyeing a strong $16M-$19M 3-day opening weekend in the U.K. alone, what would crush #Oppenheimer’s $13.9M as the #3 BIGGEST debut for any Nolan film, only below #TheDarkKnight’s $22.2M & #TheDarkKnightRises’s $22.4M opening weekends.

The Leng review was a long overdue look into the safety of new roles that should have occurred prior to their role out. Sadly it took deaths and patient harm before it happened. @jamesmurray_ldn must now uphold the review and ensure that PAs cannot see undifferentiated patients
The BMA@TheBMA

One year after the Leng Review, the High Court has dismissed a legal challenge to its implementation on all grounds.  With patient safety at stake, the Government and the NHS must now act quickly to stop PAs from seeing undifferentiated patients. We will be pushing for all the necessary safeguards to protect patient safety. Read our full response: bma.org.uk/bma-media-cent…

September 2023. That’s when I started calling this all out re PAs And amidst all of this? The gall to accuse Gill Leng of bias- and then shut down by a legal court? Is something incredible. Threatening anyone who didn’t agree with their leaders views; Accusations of bias; Personal attacks; Referrals to GMC… Everything has been tried. And here we are. I may not know much about workforce - but I know that anyone in healthcare working outside their training? Will cause harm. Implement the Leng recommendations. Enough obfuscation done. @DHSCgovuk @NHSEngland @NHSE_WTE

A hot tip to those across Royal Colleges @AoMRC & @NHSE_WTE Ignoring issues about "Physician Associates" as "Just a social media thing" will cause huge issues going forwards A same approach has got us where we are with pay disputes We have a workforce crisis- do listen.

@DrLKVaughan @parthaskar I suspect semantics will change but all will know this is merely a way to oust those not liked for whatever reason. The webpage conflates personal curiosity (clearly not appropriate) and professional curiosity (normally called learning for patients benefit)

As Sandeep rightly says, replacing doctors with noctors is about money, as it usually is. ACPs and PAs are not medically qualified. A two year Master’s is not equivalent to 11 years of medical training. Direction is clear: you will either pay to see a doctor, or accept a noctor.
TIVA Tim tweet media
Dr Sandeep Bansal@iDrSunny

Maxi nursing = mini doctoring according to the NHS A reminder - whatever you call this role - whether ANP or PA - it is a doctor replacement role and it’s giving the public in Scotland a third grade (at best) healthcare Only those of you that can afford it will be able to see a doctor
