What does the 10 Year Health Plan mean for clinical radiology? There is a lot to unpick but it’s hard to get a full picture of what it means with so little detail on implementation plans.

FINALLY- Decision Royal College of Physicians investigation Removal from the Council of an elected member Barring standing for elections 12 months By a panel which is unknown - with zero right to reply. (To be ratified by Council on 15/7) For exposing chicanery around PAs by senior

Resident doctors have voted to strike. These are difficult times and pay is only one of many factors driving dissatisfaction, along with burnout from chronic staff shortfalls, career uncertainty, poor working conditions, lack of training opportunities and not feeling valued. 1/2

REMINDER: Have tweeted a lot about this previously. But when PAY is DOWN, PENSION linked to that pay is also DOWN. So you *cant* fix this by robbing Peter (pension) to pay Paul (pay). You are both Peter and Paul so you cant rob your future self to fund pay rises. *Not* fair

I can explain the divide. Since Doctors trained & became Consultants or GPs in the 20th century - the “deal” has progressively got worse. • Medical students stopped getting maintenance grants. • Then they had to pay tuition fees - which have risen sharply over 20 years. •

The Leng Review - the independent review of the physician associate and anaesthesia associate roles - has now been published. We know many of you have been waiting for these findings to be announced. We really understand just how important this issue is. (1/2)

UPDATE: Health and Social Care Secretary @WesStreeting confirms all recommendations of the @LengReview on physician and anaesthesia associates will be accepted. "PAs should assist doctors, but they should never be used to replace doctors." More details: gov.uk/government/new…

Statement from The Royal College of Radiologists following The Leng review - No role for PAs in Diagnostic Radiology. - There may be a limited, tightly defined role for PAs to support doctors working in Interventional Radiology. - PAs should not be requesting any clinical imaging investigations.

It has been a very busy day and arrived home to this. #RPSS

Professor Gillian Leng, President of the Royal Society of Medicine agrees: doctors are right to be angry. Paid nearly £10,000 less than physician assistants; despite more training, responsibility, and risk. This is how the NHS treats its doctors. thetimes.com/uk/healthcare/…
