The whole point of GMC is to keep patients safe from harm. But what if, like OFWAT & OFCOM, itโ€™s turning into another politically-neutered, failing regulator? I cannot stand silently by as GMC fails patients in the PA debacle. Hereโ€™s why ๐Ÿ‘‡ app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/68829/coโ€ฆ

โ€˜This year there will be qualified doctors without a job.โ€™ โ€˜Weโ€™re seeing GPs driving Uber now.โ€™ Caller Dave is dismayed by the continued expansion of physician associates when places for doctors are shrinking.

3 things to say: 1. How on earth do NHSE WTE now support the whole PA project aimed at replacing doctors 2. The Head of NHSE WTE is NOT being asked to lead the review- says plenty. 3. When you all wrote the 'NHS Long Term Workforce Plan' in 2023- did you not know this?

๐Ÿงต/ This heartbreaking case highlights why so many doctors like me have begged NHS England & Department of Health and Social Care to stop endangering NHS patients by substituting doctors with non-medically trained PAs We've been dismissed & smeared as "toxic bullies". Please read this thread & decide.

Oxford Professor Trisha Greenhalgh's team has examined the evidence for the safety of deploying physician associates in the UK. TL:DR - it doesn't exist. Her systematic review is out today. A hugely significant piece of work that has major implications for the #LengReview.

Deeply concerning thread from a resident doctor regarding the supposedly fair & impartial site visits from the #LengReview assessing the safety of PAs. Based on their testimony, they sound anything but. I will raise immediately. Thank you for speaking out Dr Vincent Simpson.

I am going to take a moment to say thank you to Wes Streeting who has confirmed that International Medical Graduates already serving in the #NHS will NOT be disadvantaged It confirms what I have also heard back. Look forward to details - but reassuring indeed. If I may?

Hundreds to thousands of UK-trained doctors will be unemployed in a matter of weeks as their contracts end this August. Why are we training doctors to leave them jobless? My thanks to The Telegraph for helping me raise this issue. telegraph.co.uk/health-fitnessโ€ฆ
