OK, ⁦Steve Barclay⁩ “NHS Week” is over, but how about achieving something? There is no excuse for not bringing in professional regulation for NHS managers. How about it? Please retweet if you support professional accountability for NHS managers. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-661209…

Just imagine how much better the NHS could be if all the taxpayers’ money spent on pursuing and demonising whistleblowers was spent on sorting out the problems they were concerned about and improving patient care. We need a league table of unnecessary legal spending in the NHS.

If you do a national role as a clinician, in my view? You MUST continue to being a clinician- as your main role. Not doing so -IME- is a fundamental reason of disconnect with the staff -and patients And coming up with silly ideas and decisions -which frustrates all concerned.

Royal Colleges and the NHS have concerns about a workforce crisis in the medical profession 2 years training and flooding medicine with PAs to replace doctors is not the answer: it’s not safe for patients and will irreversibly destroy clinical care and medicine as a standards

Sunak will probably give away more in inheritance tax cuts to benefit the children of 40,000 rich people than it would cost to give every doctor in the UK their pay rise, in full. Which of those options do you think would best serve the interests of elderly people in the UK?

You can read a detailed report (in Spanish) of the #RejoinMarch in London on El Mundo & watch expensive coverage on FRANCE 24 & Euronews Germany but nothing on BBC News (UK). Absolutely shameful from our so called “public service broadcaster” elmundo.es/internacional/…

You can’t get a GP appointment because government is spending hundreds of millions of your taxes on employing staff with vastly less training instead. GP surgeries are FORBIDDEN from using this money to hire GPs The tories are paying for you NOT to see a doctor #AskForADoctor

You pay Physician’s Assistants £11,000 more than the doctors who supervise them on the wards. It’s MORE than the pay demands of the BMA. 🚨 We’re asking TO BE PAID LESS THAN OUR ASSISTANTS.🚨 And you say we’re the ones being unreasonable? Get your P45 and jog on, Vicky.

FINALLY the Royal College of General Practitioners has called for a halt on any further recruitment of PAs as doctor substitutes in general practice. Heartfelt thanks to all frontline & senior staff who’ve fought for standards in medicine & patient safety. Shame on the leaders who haven’t.

"This project is one of the most singularly dishonest, duplicitous & downright reckless political responses to the NHS workforce crisis." Me for Guardian Opinion on Department of Health and Social Care's scandalous plan to replace doctors with cut-price, fake doctor substitutes👇 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

If you are still not familiar with the PA scandal please watch this shocking film The NHS says it’s not trying to replace qualified doctors with physician associates. But this is the terrifying truth

The slow-motion car-crash caused by the drafting of Labour’s ‘VAT attack’ on independent schools is painful, compelling and delicious to watch. The ignorant and arrogant incompetence of Sir Keir Starmer and his Secretary of State for Education Bridget Phillipson is laid bare.

New GMC guidance is unhelpful, when what doctors and patients need is clarity on what PAs are allowed to do and what they're not. We're calling for a clear and nationally enforced safe scope of practice for PAs & AAs. Full response from Philip Banfield 💙: bma.org.uk/bma-media-cent…
