This article from a senior Orthopaedic Surgeon is misleading and disingenuous without an iota of understanding of the issues. The USA and UK models are different. ODPs and AA responsibilities can’t be compared. Training, pay disparity, supervision etc BIDA The BMA BAPIO

So tragic but this is what happens in a broken healthcare system. We are all prospective patients and this could happen to anyone who is unlucky enough to fall ill. apple.news/AQ6T1lko5Sdyf-…

GP training 15,000 applicants for 4000 places!! The government plans to increase training places to 6000 in 2031. What’s wrong herešŸ¤” The RCGP and the government seem to ignore this enthusiasm. Should they not seriously plan to increase training places much sooner? BIDA

I believe this is logical. I have always followed this rule but the GMC proved its hypocrisy and rascist attitudes extremely well in Dr Bawa Garba case. The Consultant got off scot free😔

The current system seems more stressful as compared to when I came to the UK as a foreign trained medical graduate in the late eighties. Multiple rejections at interviews were quite common. Do we have a better solution? bbc.co.uk/news/health-68…

Even the Academy of Royal Medical Colleges recognises the issue with PAs and AAs. BIDA had campaigned for a review a year ago. This must happen now bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Structural racism is a killer. Can’t believe 70% of Bangladeshi and Pakistani families live in poverty. Is deprivation the root cause? theguardian.com/world/2024/oct…

Physician Associates to be renamed Excellent suggestion expected to be made in the Leng review. I don’t think we should have the word ā€˜physician’ or ā€˜medical’ attached to their name. Why not call them ā€˜Health Assistants’ ? email.rcpsg.ac.uk/c/AQjj5BIQovF6…

When this doctor started medical school, unemployment was unfathomable. Now it is a stark reality. Why are we training doctors to have them unemployed, moving abroad, or leaving medicine entirely?

The GMC at its best. You can make up your own mind. GMC earned £25 million in 2024 At present there are about 15,000 PLAB passed doctors in the UK

We must campaign for reforming the PLAB exams. The GMC is making this a commercial platform to fill its coffers. Time to campaign to tailor the exams to the job requirements in the NHS BIDA BAPIO APPNE APPS UK firdaus
