Well ducking done NHS England you have enabled this. As we all predicted you have once again done us in. We expect this from politicians but from you…it’s pathetic. Who will look after you and your relatives when we are all gone? Meanwhile GPs dust off exit plans.

Is it reasonable to attribute provenance to multiple anonymous anecdotes posted from an anonymous account? Formal processes exist to report concerns about access to training: Student > med school > GMC Trainee > DME > PGDean > GMC Im more than happy to consider genuine concerns

Hey secondary care, Over the coming weeks and months you are going to find that General Practice is a little more salty. Spikey. The cardigans are coming off and we are not going to be your plebs anymore. It's not personal this is survival.

Hard truths: 5-10% of patients seen by doctors in NHS suffer adverse events. Risks higher: emergency care, overstretched services, rural areas, people like myself (those trained abroad, working in rural or deprived areas). For PAs vs doctors ? I am not aware of comparative data.

Did you know that some GPs fear liking posts from this account as they don't want to end up in trouble from other GPs. (They have messaged me to tell me). What have we come too when GPs are worried about this kind of backlash? How can we ever grow as a profession?

GPs do around 10,000 consultations a year. But it's the one or two consultations that we keep ruminating about. It's what keeps us awake. Twitter is no different. I am taking a break folks. See you soon.

Imagine it this way....A major hospital trust has been told not to discharge IPs until the GP has reviewed the discharge summary and agreed. This is to ensure that there is no work dumping and that the patient has been given appropriate treatment and follow up arrangements.

A GP associate in training is a Doctor (5 yr med degree) who has complete foundation training (2 yrs) as a doctor and is training to be a GP (3 years). A Physician Assistant is someone who has simply completed a 2 year degree. Which sounds more senior? Will the public know?

A PA should not have the power to decline a GP referral. To be honest we just send a letter and send them to ED. Our local hospital hasn’t picked up the phone to accept referrals in around 5 years.

If they don’t pick up in the time I’ve done my letter then they go to ED. Can you imagine a consultant being delayed on a ward round for twenty minutes cause the GP wasn’t accepting a discharge. This is the hospitals issue to fix.

Told them how to get in touch with you if any problems? Set out duration and dose? Clearly documented it in an agreed way? If not then you are dumping.
