๐งต/ 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-fitnessโฆ
