I'm not a doctor.🤣
But I'd rather trust one who has studied medicine, than a PA - however much experience they might have.
How do I know they have even seen the symptoms I have? What if I'm asymptomatic?
Thanks very much, but my health and life are more valuable than your ego.

This is very scary. After 2years of studying conditions, you get to hold the stroke bleep. A bleep that should be carried by someone with at least 10years of medical experience. How UK medical care has truly become a disaster
How are the populace not seeing this.
This is a crime!

Oh wow, @RCHTWeCare. Not only do you have a PA doing endoscopy, you have them doing independent unsupervised endoscopy in the community … and you printed them all over a van! At least you’re not shy about it, so I see no issues in posting it here.

@gmcuk
According to the Medical Act 1983, this is a criminal offence. I wonder who is responsible - Raj or @itvnews or both? 🤔
But I expect silence from the organisation that’s supposed to be upholding medical standards and protecting the public.

As a victim of bullying myself years ago, I totally stand with Amanda Abbington. It can manipulative, coercive with gaslighting and it's very hard to prove. She was very brave to stand up and speak.

@IanByrneMP it isn’t just @AlderHey , this is going on all over the country . They’re running cancer clinics at @geshNHS . I have hundreds of examples on my twitter feed .
@geshNHS remove this job advert immediately!
THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR CANCER PATIENTS!
No experience necessary in oncology ?
What local medical training and exams would a PA have to undergo to allow them to do this work ?
Where is the local training plan?

It is hard to overstate how concerning this is.
@AlderHey appears to be using physician associates - not doctors - to see children independently in surgical outpatient clinics.
No medical degree.
No post-grad paediatric qualifications.
Just PAs, “flying solo” on your kids.
Mrs M retweeted
The fact that grieving families are having to join a legal case just to ensure proper supervision and regulation for PAs & AAs is beyond belief.
How is the GMC still evading responsibility?

@TheBMA
Our legal case against the GMC has been joined by two families who have suffered tragic bereavements following care delivered by Physician Associates (PAs).
Statements are being prepared in which both will give evidence to the Court.

Dear UK 🇬🇧 Parents,
Doctors cannot get onto Paediatric training programs, yet here we have PAs performing lumbar punctures on your children.
Don’t say we didn’t warn you about the national scandal unfolding before us:
Thanks to Sildenafil another FOI back from @AlderHey
PAs doing lumbar punctures in paediatrics
There’s 3 PAs who are doing them. Looks like they’ve done them on 685 children/times
Are parents aware?
Do trainees not need to do them?
I thought we were short of paediatric trainees?

We need an adult discussion about ending the dangerous experiment which clearly aimed to replace doctors, putting patients at risk. Keen on assistants though? Well the role *already* exists. Band 4 'Doctor's Assistant'

💯 No and no to outsourcing, which is depleting NHS funds. Still nothing from you on PAs. A wreckles experiment, public don't want & Dr's v concerned, so should you be. @gmcuk @NHSEngland @drcolinm @RCPhysicians @rcgp
Mrs M retweeted
Surely national rules about what physician associate’s can & can’t do to protect patient safety, standard guidance on supervision & an agreed process for patients to give consent should be a given - and PATIENTS SHOULD KNOW WHO IS AND IS NOT A DOCTOR
RT if you agree
🚨It’s time for Health Secretary @wesstreeting to come clean & confirm if Department of Health & Social Care is funding @gmcuk’s costs in defending legal actions brought by @TheBMA & @AnaesUnited to protect patient safety in the physician associates scandal - what’s the answer?
Mrs M retweeted
Permitting local scope of practice for PAs without national standards or limitations is completely bonkers & a recipe for patient safety disaster.
Is the Government backing the GMC in defending cases opposing this madness? What exactly is government policy on this?
This is an issue of enormous concern to both doctors & the public so what’s the answer?
