£62 million could have funded 500 full-time nurses for 2 years in critically understaffed NHS units. Instead? It was spent on training Physician Associates and Anaesthesia Associates. Priorities…

This is staggering! £62 MILLION spent on PAs & AAs in the last 3 years 🚩 This could’ve funded *500* FULL TIME nurses for 2 years?! They say there’s “no money” for: Unemployed doctors Understaffed units Rubbish! The dire NHS state is a deliberate political choice.

The Sure Start programme was a beacon of equality, especially in our most deprived communities. Today, I outlined in The Yorkshire Post, the health value of Sure Start and a 5-point plan to return Sure Start to Yorkshire. yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/opinion/c…

My The Yorkshire Post piece on the Sure Start programme: top billing (above Rachel Reeves's piece, even). The evidence for the health benefits of the Sure Start programme are irrefutable; the benefits indispensable!

An interesting discussion on the wards: there’s a fundamental incompatibility of the Physician Associate programme and Medicine. Either it takes 5+ years to be a doctor; or a bare-minimum, degree mill <2 year programme. Both can’t be right!

As a young doctor, I found assisted dying totally unconscionable. But, now that I'm an old doctor, I feel sure that it's an essential change.

Most doctors now have no confidence in the GMC. So today we announce the BMA's NEW register for all doctors. Sign up today to show your support for change. activism.bma.org.uk/page/172664/pe… #BMAARM25

It’s a scandal that PAs replace GPs anywhere. But it’s utterly intolerable that these dangerously undertrained “associate” roles are disproportionately replacing doctors in working class communities. As an alleged Labour politician, this should bother you Wes Streeting

Sign me up! For too long our regulator, The GMC, has exuded a malignant influence on the medical profession. People have died because of the actions taken by The GMC. Medicine, once a scholarly pursuit, is now a reckless free for all: with little value for human life.

Just another day in the NHS, Wes Streeting. NHS workers deserve a safe and dignified working environment. The crumbling and dilapidated NHS estate is unsafe and not fit for purpose — it hasn’t been for the last four decades!

A perfect description of how Nigel Edwards and I have called a 'model of attrition' arise. A consultant in a small service retires. Others leave too, cos work is harder. The service is on deathbed. Impossible to recruit, cos who wants to work in a dying service? Letting the 1/

Shaun Lintern According to Pulse’s data; Wealthy areas get real doctors, and deprived areas get the dangerous medical replacement experiment with risks to patients and the licenses of few doctors who remain in those deprived communities. Not all appointments in general practice are equal.

But equally is there a “precedent in trade union history” for a 30% real-terms pay cut since 2008? Resident doctors have lost a lot. When you take that much from doctors, you lose them. Lose doctors, and patients lose care. Surely wanting back what’s been taken from you isn’t

Imagine someone nicks £40 from your £100. They give you £20 back, then call you greedy for asking for the rest. That’s what doctors are facing. They are being paid 20% less in real terms than they were in 2008. Full pay restoration is not an unreasonable demand.

It is highly likely that dangerous mistakes like this, by PAs are being deliberately covered up by Trusts throughout the UK as they do not want the danger to patients from using PAs inappropriately in dr roles exposed by the media!
