NEW RESEARCH—A retrospective cohort study from the UK reports treatment outcomes of targeted therapies in patients with #VEXAS syndrome thelancet.com/journals/lanrh… Taryn Youngstein James Poulter


"The relationship between PAs and their clinical leads must be recognised for what it is: an ongoing process of direct instruction, not supervision." The physician associate model is one of closely monitored support—not supervision, writes Dr Asif Qasim MA PhD FRCP bmj.com/content/389/bm…

An excellent and timely article by Dr Asif Qasim MA PhD FRCP that underlines a core difference. Supervision is an educational process to eventually confer independence, and can only be used with those medically qualified. Direct instruction is necessary for those not qualified.


Hugely proud of my great friend Dr Rachel Clarke Absolutely thrilled for you Rachel

I know for a FACT that this is untrue MRCPUK Examinations Royal College of Physicians RCP Resident Doctor Committee BSR One of the doctors affected works with me and has not heard from you at all. Sort it out. thefederation.uk/news/rheumatol…

Woefully slow non-reassuring response so far Widespread reports of this issue affecting more than confirmed by MRCPUK Examinations I have so many questions but mostly want to say that is remains unacceptable to treat the future of our profession in this way Resit + compensation asap

90% vote FOR industrial action (55% turnout) This isn’t greed - it’s a marker of distress Wes Streeting these doctors are our future - they need to be paid fairly commensurate with their education & training and for the vital & demanding work they do bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

The most astonishing thing is to read this then recall the self aggrandising candidate statements from internal candidates in the recent Royal College of Physicians elections- - taking shameless credit for major policy change that Partha S Kar 🇮🇳🇬🇧🏏🎥 had to drag them to kicking & screaming “BE KIND”


Final push for signatures. Partha S Kar 🇮🇳🇬🇧🏏🎥 deserves better. If you’re a current or former MRCP/FRCP(L) and angry that speaking up for patient safety is now treated like COVID vaccine conspiracism, please sign. I’ll send this to the RCP tomorrow. 🔗 go.dauk.org/pkpetition
