Just in case anyone was in doubt, this is why there is a doctors strike today. It’s not greed. Their dedication to service has been exploited by government and finally it’s gone too far. If you want to see what happens if this isn’t sorted just look at dentistry in the NHS!

A difficult convo at work reinforced how much of a problem this is. I met a close friend of the late Emily Chesterton last night; she was telling me she no longer trusts GPs because of what happened. She thought a PA is a “junior GP” because the word “Physician” means dr right?

If a PA has not passed the national PANE exam and not registered on the PAMVR, are they allowed to work as a PA in primary care? Should they be allowed? There’s definitely one example of this I’ve seen in the last few days

@Xeon4f145d96s1 There’s more Pizza, one of them oversees care homes as the only “medical professional”. And a PA somewhere is doing elective surgery independently… All things our Royal Colleges will be interested in of course

@ShaunLintern That’s not true though is it? As a PA starts on Band 7 (43K) which is far higher than both the dentist and medic starting salary.

@LittlePersonDoc @SecretPhysician @john_brittenden @DrEilidhMaria Agreed Jenna. I brought up the OMFS training pathway as another example of scope ceiling + need for further education/training to progress. No response to that aspect ofc. I still believe the standards are required for us to practice safely. But some don’t care apparently

@Xeon4f145d96s1 @JanetEastham The mindset of these people is scary. What do you get out of illegal prescribing? A weird ego boost? The thrill of illegal activity at work? Wtf

@iDrSunny If active barriers are needed to stop them from committing a crime, then we have the wrong people in PA posts.

@mjv__1 I think if all staff had to do TAB/MSF/SJT like we do, we may see a small shift in behaviours…

@Dr_Done_ 55K starting salary?! This is for a newly-qualified PA as well. No prior experience required. And the public is upset an actual doctor wants to earn at least 39?!

@LBC @TomSwarbrick1 @TomSwarbrick1 great show. Unfortunately a couple of your callers proved concerns raised by drs- some PAs/ANPs/ACPs are not aware of differences in medical training +are confusing their abilities for certain tasks with the role of a dr.

@AnalysisDrawer Many say that most PAs have a healthcare background, so whilst recruitment/ expansion is paused could they not work in their original field?

@mrmyb10 Obviously I had no idea it would lead to death threats, and if you think that was my intention you’re skirting pretty close to libel.

@iDrSunny Consultants please correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t this change to defining SPA mean you could do 25% more clinical work for a 0-19% increase? Is this a sneaky paycut?!

@LukeAmos__ Agreed! I’ve picked those three scenarios as I’ve found the defence of obfuscation often only goes in one direction. But we’ll see!

I spent 10 yrs as a HCA, why couldn’t I have been appointed as a nurse? With all my clinical exp pre-medicine, why couldn’t I just come out of med school as the med reg?

@Adam_Skeen I’ve always thought you all should be forming your own committee as part of the RCP and should be consulted on current events. You guys actually have that “different perspective” everyone likes to talk about 😁

A pistachio cake commissioned for a birthday the other week! Pistachio sponge, filled with pistachio paste, and coated with an orange blossom Swiss meringue buttercream and crushed pistachios. Did I use enough pistachio? 🤔😂

This issue is ongoing, the 8am candidates have now left the exam 3 times because of technical issues. This is the last day to sit the exam. @NHSE_WTE @PearsonVUE please can you provide some guidance; this is playing with people’s lives.

This is unacceptable @PearsonVUE The doctors who have prepared hard for this exam need you to confirm immediately that there will be another sitting this week - they can’t lose a year of their career progression because of your failure.
