It's OK though, because if patients ask she explains she's not a doctor - and she's able to perform the role of a GP but not, apparently, capable of stepping on the toes of midwives...

To sit for MRCP/MRCS/MRCEM/MRCGP Part 1, you must first clear 30+ major exams, OSCEs, WPBAs, ARCPs, & formal training-from UCAT/BMAT to MBBS finals & F yrs. No shortcuts, no bypass. Anyone thinking otherwise has zero respect for medical training & the complexity of medicine.

It’s very simple. You have 150 patients that need to be see in ED. You can have 20 doctors. Or You reduce down to 12 doctors, and then add 8 PA’s and ACPs. What happens? doctors are replaced by less educated and qualified individuals. Number of referrals goes up,

We have a government that wants to increase medical school places, increase use of PAs, allows skyrocketing competition ratios for specialty training, and stagnant pay with worsening conditions. GPs are driving Uber and doctors are leaving the country because they can't find

Doctors are going to go on Strike again. Nearly 50% of Doctors who passed their Medical Degree in the last 3 years are unemployed in the UK. It used to be 1-2%. Yet Waiting Lists are at record highs and not going down. Why aren't they employed?

Anyone who has not seen Kemi Badenoch speech today should sit and watch. It was a political masterclass delivered with passion and skill. Great announcements. Competence and common sense. She has stopped the rot!! Congratulations.

A vibrant speech that sounds to me like the new beginnings we all hope for. “if not me, then who? If not now then when?” Be a part of creating a prosperous future, where things will function as they’re supposed to membership.conservatives.com/membership/Lev… Well done Kemi Badenoch Kevin Hollinrake MP

While you are waiting over 12 hours to be seen by a Doctor in AnE, doctors are searching for work unemployed. 14 doctors are applying for 1 AnE training job. 1000s of doctors are ready to work to reduce the waiting list and wait times. This is a complete failure of the system.

It's been 8 years since I took on Hunt at RCGP conference and pissed him right off on national TV. Who was right Jeremy? Sadly, it was me. You and everyone who followed you has just made it all infinitely worse. If only you had listened to all of the highly dedicated

Here’s a three step plan to improve the health of the population, reduce ED attendances & hospital waiting lists. - more money to general practice (not ‘community care’) to support prevention & early intervention - fund no-strings expansion of premises to increase capacity for

Lord Falconer says people with “learning difficulties or autism” could, with “proper assistance”, access assisted suicide. That should alarm every Peer in the Lords. Vulnerable people don’t need help to die. They need support to live.

Perhaps he’ll follow in the hallowed footsteps of Baroness Gerada and be appointed a life peer in the New Year Honours list. Seems like the logical next step.

Maybe I was too generous with my assessment a few months ago that we were being governed by a middle aged bunch who were stuck in a 6th form time warp. Looks like I added a decade of wisdom!

A bit of background info on Wes Streeting that you won’t have been given in his TV interviews today - particularly in regard to discussions about junior doctors and the NHS There will have been no mention of the amount of money Wes has received from wealthy private healthcare

There’s a perception that turning General Practice into same day urgent service will relieve pressure on hospitals. This fails on many levels. Hospitals aren’t busy because of GP. What will help is funding GP to do more prevention work - reduce long term demand on healthcare.
