Scapegoating physician associates is a dangerous distraction for the NHS, says UNISON | News, Press release | News | UNISON National unison.org.uk/news/2025/04/s…

Pointing fingers at PAs must stop. Clearly vast majority of these 1 in 20 hospital admission errors are not down to PAs. Errors occur in relation to all staff including doctors.

I'm blocked, which considering I don't think we've ever spoken is strange but would you like to post the content of the complaints for users to see why this happened?
Also, @parthaskar would you let me know please if the RCP at any stage refused to let the FPA advocate for itself? What was the Comms policy over the last 2 years? Could they send out Comms of their own volition? If they FPA had to go through an internal policy to get Comms signed off by the rcp, were RCP officers at the time able to speak freely on social media to denigrate the role?
Also did @drmattuk ever produce surveys that were intentionally biased regarding patient safety against the PA roles? Did he work with journalists specifically to bring the narrative to the fire?
I'll wait. Complaints in and of themselves are not vexatious. The content thereof maybe but let's have that context please and open up the debate truthfully. If people want to cry victim and play whatabout, let's have view of everything. Ta!

Fantastic news for #physicianassociates. The professor was a pleasure to meet at the PA stakeholder event earlier this year. Supportive of the role. Thank you @gmcuk
We’re pleased to announce that Professor Pushpinder Mangat has been appointed as our new Medical Director and Director of Education and Standards.
From his experiences as a registered doctor and the Deputy Chief Medical Officer in Wales, Push brings with him a wealth of expertise.
We look forward to welcoming him next year, where he’ll work closely with Professor Colin Melville on the run up to his retirement in June.

Last year saw an increase in the number of doctors practicing in the UK, with more than two thirds of those joining the register having qualified abroad.
This means that many doctors will not only be adjusting to UK practice, but also navigating a new life in a new country.
We continue to run free workshops for doctors new to the UK, offering practical guidance on ethical scenarios and the chance to connect with other internationally-qualified doctors.
Last year, more than 10,500 international medical graduates attended a session.
Concerted, sustained efforts are needed across the UK’s healthcare systems to provide the induction, integration and inclusion vital for those new to working as a doctor in the UK.

You wouldn’t know, you’ve NEVER worked with a PAs. Plus even better if PAs and AAs being ‘Addition to MDT’ adding ‘DIVERSITY’ which Anti-MAPs are hyper protective for your title as Medicine accessible to PA/AAs/Nurse Cons/ACP/ANPs etc. Patients are happy to see MAPs you’re NOT.
More like you Anti-MAP campaigners wake up and stop with bullying/harass/fear mongering/possession/false information/ abusing ‘pt safety concerns’ for ur toxic propaganda to the public. Work with #NHS #MAPs appreciate contribution, meet pt and MDT needs to prevent neglect/strain
Apparently PAs, Lords, Massey, Pritchard, DoH et al know more about medicine than doctors
Cool
I see where we are in this country.
Unsure I want to continue contributing to the system here if this is the idiotic position we take as a nation
Patients/public wake up.

More like ya’ll Anti-PA campaigners failing the public with your brutal, doctor protectionist and toxic lies by providing non-evidence based practice, going against your GMC conduct of working professionally as MDT. Ya’ll NOT fit for Drs but toxic bullies and be reported to #GMC

Thank you @nmcnews for supporting and diversifying services rather limiting them for nurses and midwives for prescriptions rights as Physician Associate as this will help advance care to meet patients needs holistically 😀 we need Pro-MAPs organisations as you.
Looks like the @nmcnews have given their blessing for nurses who are PAs to prescribe using their nurses prescribing rights
For the last 2 years no one has actually said anything about this
Why are the NMC speaking for what is supposedly a ‘medical’ workforce?

I think there needs to be some clarification that a UK Physician Assistant is a band 4 administrative role NOT to be confused with Physician Associate, which is a clinical role involving level 7 postgraduate training and which will soon have a protected title - typically band 7.

NHS physician associates and doctors locked in 'toxic' staffing row - “As Royal Colleges we were traditionally above the politics of Trade Unionism” It seems this has changed & I have said before I think the @rcgp scope for PAs is too restrictive. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2dl…

Such a shame to be losing great people like you @jacoblant The doctors denying their toxic behaviour immediately respond with toxicity when anyone opposes their views. This is not debate, it’s toxicity. I hope our PA colleagues know that not all of us doctors feel this way
