I'm a Professor of Cardiology with 23 yrs clinical experience (11 as a consultant). I get invited all over the world to give lectures and teach and I'm involved in international guidelines for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. I would be a danger to patients working in primary care as a GP equivalent despite this experience. Someone with only a two years Masters and no medical training has no role seeing acutely unwell patients in Primary Care.
