This is not very clear: "Although physician associates are dependent practitioners, they can also practice independently and make independent decisions. "

Maybe if someone else had put themselves up for election there would be more than 1 candidate? Not her fault. Comparing this to Putin and the Russian regime is beyond disgusting and disgraceful, take yourself off social media for 5 mins and have a word with yourself.

Extraordinary happenings at @RCPhysicians today. In process not dissimilar to Putin’s recent re-election, Fellows are voting for a new College President. Except there is only one candidate and not voting for them is literally not an option 😳

@AlanFreestone Women have been wronged for centuries - to suggest mass shootings by males feeling alienated because they failed at life is somehow women’s fault is disgusting. Your misogyny is crystal clear.

Just over 50%? After a concerted, organised very public campaign to cause manufactured outrage to discredit PAs, along with a heavily biased survey, almost half of the doctors still agreed they were a positive help. A Pyrrhic victory indeed.

Re my earlier tweet re singling out PA 🎯in FPR debates… It seems DAUK doesn’t want to talk about ACPs and ANPs “for now”? 😬 Why is DAUK purposely trying to delay regulatory legislation? Manufacturing outrage and fear in healthcare is detestable.

After some education and PPG input, our patients are perfectly aware of the MDT that now makes up their primary care team. They know a Physio, a Paramedic, a PA, an ANP isn’t a doctor. They know what their role is in their care. Infantilisation on so many levels.

@RishiSunak @DHSCgovuk @NHSEngland @gmcuk And crucially, which is it for you, @UKLabour & @wesstreeting ? Because the increasing substitution of NHS doctors with non-doctors lacking a medical degree is, imo, exceptionally risky. And it's happening without public consent or even awareness. Please stop it.

Dr Zaw failed 4 patients (that we know of) with a hefty trail of errors and mismanagement. He wasn’t thrown under a bus, he was an obvious danger to patients. His suspension has nothing to do with him being a BAME and everything to do with his own medical negligence.

The public & all HCPs should be more concerned about Doctors Vote if the alleged founder admits to wanting to burn the NHS to the ground & replace it with private medicine. It may be MAPs that lead to a 2 tier system after all, but as the planned scapegoat for NHS destruction😬

@SaraTon08500527 @PhilipBrayshaw @KirkwoodDW @mancunianmedic He is hoping doctors can be liberated from the NHS. It's the foundation of FPR it seems. He's the founder, from what is being said, of Doctor's Vote, who have taken over a chunk of the BMA. So is it FPR whether through govt pay restoration or end of NHS?

@caspertown42 @TheSalariedPA @AnalysisDrawer The constant baloney, caricature & misrepresentation of MAPs is a very deliberate plan to cause outrage and fear. It’s normalised the abuse of our colleagues It’s easy to see why the NHS has a huge bullying problem and many of the perpetrators can be seen here on X daily.

@carolvorders @TheBMA Hi Carol, FYI we are talking about >3000 healthcare professionals working in the NHS as PAs from science and healthcare degree backgrounds and a MSc. for >20 years. It’s not new, and they are not people just dragged in off the street as some would have you believe.

Our Consultant RNs & AHPs have developed an expert & lead professional practice in their relevant field, modernising & streamlining patient care across services and organisations & involved in research/EBP education/training. They are indeed “Consultants” of their professions.

@BuddGeorgie Having flat hierarchies is one, but another to dilute the profession making "consultants" out of everyone+allowing everyone to be "consultants" without the appropriate training. What's the point of our training and exams then? Hierarchy is one, but patient harm is another
