Reversing the Decline: The Crisis Facing the UK Clinical Academic Workforce - my commentary on the recent Medical Research Council report Prof Chris P Gale Mamas A. Mamas Trisha Greenhalgh Dr Rachel Clarke Prof. Devi Sridhar Professor Azeem Majeed A/Prof Sonya Burgess Prof Derek Connolly Prof Shafi Ahmed PhD FRCS Professor Farah Bhatti OBE Taryn Youngstein

🧵/ Astounded by the disingenuousness of Royal College of Physicians' response today to Prof Trisha Greenhalgh & Martin McKee's BMJ systematic review revealing the stark lack of evidence for the safety of PAs in the NHS. There's rewriting history & then there's this shameless doublespeak.

Lack of evidence on safety & effectiveness of physician associates & anaesthetic associates, review finds Martin McKee discusses need for evidence-based strategy for expanding roles to address UK workforce shortages, & says patient safety is vital. lshtm.ac.uk/newsevents/new…

Here the BMJ lays out in stark terms the crisis faced by the Royal College of Physicians. I believe the College has lost the trust of members & ceased to be the credible voice of physicians. This has to change, urgently. This why I back presidential candidate Dr Asif Qasim MA PhD FRCP to do so. 🧵/

Lastly, I believe there there is no-one who would make a better RCP Vice President than @drlkvaughan. And for RCP Council? Nick Hopkinson, Philip Pearson & @DrBarryMonk1 are leaders of huge ability & integrity. They'd be my votes (if only members could, but that's another story...)

Attention FRCPs! Happy #RCPEGM anniversary 😱 Here is why I’m supporting Louella Vaughan to be Clinical Vice-President at RCP London 🗳️ Polls open Monday #VoteLouella

Nick would make a wonderful new member of RCP Council. Integrity. Decency. One of the Fellows who called the EGM. A brilliant doctor and colleague. Just what the College needs more of 👏

The Royal College of Physicians Commentary Q&A is now live The KFR raised serious concerns about governance, decision making & accountability at the RCP. The governance review must take account of the unique functions of the RCP, the complexity of relationships & the views of stakeholders.

Voting is open in the RCP election We cannot continue like this - the RCP has to promote excellence in medicine. Instead of driving quality, we’ve had the false economy of doctor substitution. The high standards of training that patients and the public rightly expect of us have

The reasons for my service to the Royal College of Physicians have been called into question. My association with the RCP started all the way back in *2009*, when I was invited to do an invited service review. I have served continuously, more or less, on various committees since. 1/
