Fantastic visualisation of the countless stressors trainees have to juggle. So many pieces of low hanging fruit that could be fixed if only the will was there. Reminded of my sad, coffee stained tote in the changing room, kicked far from where I’d left it by the end of the day 🫠

Today the AoMRC - supposedly the defender of the once world-leading standards of UK medicine - claimed that doctors' concerns over the use of PAs was “almost devoid of factual information”. Is this factual enough for you?

"The clinical knowledge and skills required for the assessment and examination of children in these circumstances, are such that they are far beyond the level at which a PA should be working, even under supervision." The professional body has spoken. fflm.ac.uk/wp-content/upl…

These competition ratios are insane. This is not “healthy competition”, this is forcing extremely bright (and expensive) talent out of the UK to countries where they are valued #braindrain #workforceplanning

In 2007, a "toolkit" was made in collaboration with the RCoA and DoH for departments to use. It made clear patients can decline care by an Anaesthetic Practioner (AP), the previous title for AA without detriment to their care. It was this document used to apply for regulation

GMC “…with more doctors than ever before choosing locally employed (LE) roles” When there are ~29k applicants for ~9k core training posts, doctors are not *choosing* LE roles They have no other option

Dr Haseena Wazir I've had to look up 5 of these people. Why do they think their opinions are relevant? Sod off, and come back when you've got the £100k of debt, job insecurity and 20% real terms pay cut that your inaction brought us.

It's always weird to see these bizarre claims that the committee is "hard left" or "corbynistas". This is a wave of young people aged typically between 23-35 who see Broken Britain for what it is. Raising rent, raising house prices, raising energy prices, raising leisure
