To date, 13,000 doctors write to party leaders to express “grave concern” over use of physician associates - @TheBMA
Whoever forms the next government must listen
BMA is fighting for all of us 👏🏼👏🏼 bma.org.uk/bma-media-centre/…

True, you have been in the room
It’s where you told us you were more afraid of what the daily mail readership would think rather than actually trying to resolve our dispute
Stellar leadership

The GMC refuses to define scope of practice for Associates.
They haven't even consulted on this, despite a set obligation for them to do so.
Regulation without regulation?
Help us challenge that. Donate to our legal fund.

Thanks to your generous donations, we've rapidly reached our initial target of £15,000. We can now get started on the legal case.
A stretch target of £100,000 will allow us to fight this in court.
Please keep donating. Time to #telltheGMC
We are commencing a legal case against the @gmcuk over their regulation of Physician Associates.
We need your help to fund it.
Writing letters didn't work. Time for action.

Hi @RCPhysicians & @RCRadiologists
Your colleges oversee the training required by oncologists to deliver cytotoxic treatments to cancer patients.
Please provide a statement of whether you support/condone a non-doctor with no formal training authorising treatment.
Another stellar example of the benefits of the @gmcuk local governance scandal in action.
Royal Marsden policy showing PAs able to authorise cytotoxic medication.
As with most things, credit to @MedReddit (u/sildendafil_prn).

@drcolinm of the @gmcuk has written this in a recent blog about future education &, as a card-carrying educationalist, I disagree vehemently
The last 50 yrs of educational research tells us a very clear message
The single most important determinant of expertise is knowledge

Dear UK public,
Yesterday, hot on the heels of widespread concern among doctors at the govt’s project of replacing NHS doctors with doctor substitutes, @gmcuk released a blog about its future intentions.
It left doctors like me reeling.
Here's why 🧵

Reminder to ensure (if you are eligible)to VOTE #RCPEGM
Reminder:
5 motions
Recommendation:
Vote to pass ALL 5
Advise-again- @RCPhysicians to consider apology re data
Also?
See votes for College Council & academic VP
Read statements, make your choice
Shape YOUR College 👍🏽
Michael Grant retweeted
I can see no possible way forward for @RCPhysicians but for the current leadership to resign.
Forcing a VONC would only add insult to injury.

Dear 🇬🇧,
Please read - this NHS scandal potentially affects you all.
🧵 Having studied the data, just released, from the @RCPhysicians members' survey on PAs, I couldn't be more disgusted by the lack of probity, honesty & fairness of those who lead my Royal College. 1/n

Consultants in England have voted a resounding YES to taking industrial action this July.
✅Turnout: 71.08%
✅Yes votes: 20,741 – 86.08%

ALT A graphic with the word Yes next to a tick box marked with an X. Then a sentence which reads: BMA consultants in England have voted for industrial action on 20 and 21 July. #FixConsultantPay

Literally every single junior doctor I am the educational / academic supervisor for is making plans to leave. This is not an exaggeration. The general public has no insight into how screwed they are going to be in the next couple of years in relation to their healthcare.

Lots of interesting discussion at today’s #CFOMEnvironment webinar with @svig2 @Richard56 @DrAmyBooth. Rotational medical training impacts trainee wellbeing, finances and the environment. If we can deliver effective training in a smaller area - is it time to abolish rotation?

Junior doctors have voted YES to strike action in England.

Nurses like myself are back out on strike today
Please remember people aren’t dying because nurses are striking. Nurses are striking because people are dying.

Today’s pay cut will come as a bitter blow for doctors across England, as it marks complete failure to recognise their sacrifices during the pandemic.
We will fight for the full restoration of pay lost since 2008.
