The Great Hospital Con: Doctors Without Borders (MSF) pulled out of the al-Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, and just yesterday explained its decision. It has said exactly what I have repeatedly talked about for over a year and shared personal examples of friends of mine being imprisoned, interrogated, and tortured within various facilities inside the hospital from Hamas's intelligence and security services. MSF is two years late to this recognition but it is ultimately confirming what even a child in southern Gaza could have told the organization or the NYT, Washington Post, BBC, Al Jazeera and countless others had they bothered to ask - which is that Hamas has literally turned Gaza's three main hospitals into headquarters for security, ministerial, and administrative operations. When I said this time and again, people would yell and scream how I was irresponsibly justifying Israel’s targeting of the hospital, even as the same people would not utter a word about their favorite terrorist fascist organization jeopardizing the safety of medical facilities for two years of the deadly war. Congratulations “pro-Palestine” activists: you have been conned by your beloved resistance organization which has caused the death of tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians by its conduct and behavior. Get Hamas out of Gaza’s hospitals now!




The NHS has a fixed budget. You can have more doctors or you can pay them more. You can’t have both.

The reason @wesstreeting and Jim Mackey can go for 95% of all elective activity is because they are substituting ACPs for doctors. They do it every day why not on strikes. Its not safe! During the strikes, consultants will be there! #AskForAConsultant (not a nurse one)

The ACPs are picking up locum shifts.


We have submitted evidence to the government’s 10 Year Workforce Plan. Our submission emphasises the essential work of anaesthetists & the urgent need to invest in the future of the specialty. Learn more 👉 ow.ly/vszn50Xqss5

ACPs aren't replacing Drs… but Nurse Consultants are being placed on the Medical Consultant Rota 🙂 There is a place for Advanced Practice. It is not on the Medical Rota

@The_Gusman @alisonleary1 Registered nurse gaps can only be filled by registered nurses. That’s what the research evidence shows. Lives are put at risk if there are not enough RNs to deliver and coordinate care. #safestaffing

Full GI list autonomously performed by ACP. Are patients aware these procedures are done by ACPs? While gastro trainees are fighting for/ coming on their days off/ staying OOH to be able to train? @BMAResidents @fletchjack @TheBMA


They twisted the anti-PA movement and tried to discredit it by throwing statements like “ACPs were next” to make it sound like a witch-hunt. It’s not. It never was. It’s a stand against substitution. It always has been. *Anyone* taking doctors’ roles is next.

Read this job description. This is a senior surgical registrars job But its not This is direct doctor replacement by a "practitioner" When you go to clinic with your suspected bowel cancer you might not even see a trained surgeon but someone with a 2 year course and "training"
