The Professional Standards Authority (PSA) published its annual review of The Health and Care Professions Council on Friday. The HCPC is still not meeting all of the Standards of Good Regulation & hasn't done so for - no joke - ten consecutive years now. The PSA is dealing with

More evidence that the NHS and ambulance service is unfit for purpose. This afternoon, I was walking through Huntingdon (Cambridgeshire) on my way to the station when I heard a thud and a scream behind me. I turned round to see that a woman had fallen on the broken paving stones

While this is very belittling to dr’s, experienced nurses should be respected and their knowledge utilised, I learned a great deal from them as a newly qualified. One of the best ways to get the best from a nurse was to occasionally say “what do you think?” Mutual respect is key!

"For too long, we have trained ‘to role’ - often requiring individuals to complete years of training - when many tasks can be carried out with good supervision." Literally the taskification of care. This seems ignorant of the evidence around safety Prof Alison Leary 💙#ProtectNurse ?

Shaun Lintern Prof Alison Leary 💙#ProtectNurse Taskification doesn’t work. It’s a threat to safe patient care and detracts from the training of doctors who will have to supervise these ‘tasks’. This prevention of future deaths reports highlights how, without appropriate medical training, ‘tasks’ quickly become dangerous.

I can't begin to wrap my head around the implications of this statement. Fundamentally misunderstands: - intimate connection between clinical decision making and task - how professionals are trained - what professionals DO - what regulators do (regulate professionals!)

Yes. This! This is exactly what the 10YP and Wes Streeting entirely missed. People aren't just diagnoses. The job of a doctor isn't just to order a test or write a script. Medicine is NOT transactional. It is relational.

The proposed changes to Pharmacy in the 10YP have almost gone unnoticed (well, not on the MedTwitter). But I think these are MONUMENTAL. To the point of completely resetting who a pharmacist is and what they do. 1/

When you allow poorly trained people to do the job of highly qualified professionals harm will come as sure as night follows day!! Anyone that has tried to suggest otherwise is a fool or has an agenda
