16:Wanted to be a doctor 26:Finished med school 28:Started core training The career means I… - Delay having kids - Quit hobbies - Miss many personal events - Constantly work on exams+applications Only to be told by some a 2 year PG degree is fine instead Make it make sense

This has got to be one of the most ridiculous arguments ever. We can’t completely eliminate MAPs posing a risk due to their lesser training, so we shouldn’t try?! This from a regulator in healthcare; arguably the most safety critical of all safety critical industries?! 🤦🏻‍♂️ 😂

The RCN have finally woken up , now that PAs are affecting ANP roles “We are seeing physician associates with shorter training and a different professional background being placed in positions that were traditionally being held by advanced nurse practitioners.”

I will repeat. At the salary it's based at? As a PA/AA,you either compete with roles of doctors above the training given Or you compete with ANPs While you flood the market and drive overall payscales down It's basic simple maths regards finances & economics And yes, I did

The article says PAs were: “partly to ameliorate the shortage of doctors and the higher cost of the doctor relative to other healthcare professionals”. PAs are much more costly in the long term: unnecessary investigations, referrals and procedures. They also start on a higher

The GMC have a simple 8 page patient centered guide about what should happen when you go to see a Doctor, PA, or AA The GMC will obviously be using it to point out the differences between each of these distinct roles & definitely not lump them all together... right...? 👀 1/n

Imagine how you feel as a young doctor in this climate. You’re being actively replaced with lesser trained staff. It has been wilfully enabled by the GMC and the Royal Colleges. Your union has slept on the issue for years. Rather depressing to be honest.

By any measure - this leaflet from the GMC fails to explain to the public that PAs / AAs aren’t Doctors. This contravenes guidance from the FPA themselves that states comms regarding PAs / AAs should make this clear. This compromises patient safety imo.

Let’s be very clear - this isn’t medical students choosing to leave the NHS This is them feeling pushed out. And that’s precisely what it is. Great job Dr Navina Evans et al involved.

✍️ We’ve submitted our response to the NHS England medical training review. 🗳️ We surveyed over 1000 resident doctors for our next generation survey, with only 44% saying they were satisfied with their clinical training. Our message is clear: it’s time to reform postgraduate

I'm afraid 6% (or less) is not an appropriate pay award I am going to accept willingly. As such, I will be voting in favour of strike action. Doctors are not worth 22% less than they were in 2008. telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/05/2…

Patients are desperate to see a doctor, yet up to 1000 new GPs are likely to face unemployment this summer after completing their training - yes, you read that right - because of gross NHS workforce mismanagement. Fix this madness, please, ⁦Wes Streeting⁩ 🤷‍♀️

This takes an F1’s pay to £38,830, £18.67/hr. PAs will start at £46,763 (AfC B7 + uplift), £24.52/hr. The PA also has better work hours and T&C. Fully qualified doctors should not be paid less than the medically unqualified people meant to be assisting them. Vote for IA, guys

NEW: DDRB report out below, headline pay awards accepted by gvmnt Note: This is (meant to be) the newly reformed DDRB Make your own mind up 👇but this DOESNT start to restore our lost pay (& therefore, our lost pension) assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/682f3674…

I am a consultant anaesthetist It took 18 years of hard training at non Mickey 🐭 institutions to say I can work independently This misplaced entitlement👇 is everything that makes the associate project a patient safety disaster And throw in some illegal prescribing as well 🤡

From the DDRB report: *PROBLEM*: Hospital physicians in Canada (very comparable health system, GDP per capita country etc) earn 182% more than in the UK *SOLUTION*: give UK consultants and SAS a real-terms pay cut “Independent” pay review body? Wes Streeting 😂😂😂

In one graph from ⁦The Guardian⁩ is the relative drop in earnings of public sector workers. Not surprising that ⁦The BMA⁩ members say the DDRB ‘award’ is inadequate. Claps don’t pay the bills, childcare for 24/7 on-calls, housing & massive student loan costs - cash does.

For me the decision to vote YES to strike is this simple. As an F2 with the uplift my pay would be £44,438 per year. A physician associate would start on £47,763 per year. As an SHO, I am responsible for more unwell patients being escalated to me, more responsibility on an

"assurance for the future" is usually used to describe a practice that will continue! As I have always suspected, #Lengreview will not stop #physicianassociate but instead lend it credibility! @medicalmodelwithabriochebun ExplosiveEnema
