First they tried to stop regulation from happening Now they’re trying to push “guidance” that has no evidence base or legal basis All attempts at trying to abolish the role completely Just a reminder: This is not about patient safety This is not in the interest of the NHS

BMA “guidance” essentially states PAs are not competent at seeing patients, can only take observations and bloods. Yet they have been practising for 20+ years. But they’re stealing your jobs? Able to cover Registrar shifts? Loved by consultants? Something doesn’t add up…

So the RCGP states the GMC should not regulate MAPS. The 23 other medical royal colleges disagree. HoL passed the statutory instrument. GMC will be the regulator. It will not be changed. This position by the RCGP means nothing. Much like the BMA “guidance document”. 🤷🏾‍♂️

@cmwilliams99 @caroll_ste87889 @KhyjaMccalla @JoshuaSoane @medicalmodelbri Quite a few papers out there, and guidance on FPA site,I suspect you know how to use pubmed and do a literature search, the information is freely available on the role, but I assume you’re only interested in harassing PAs on here and berating their role?

@Microbedoc2 @gmcuk They are medical associate professionals. They provide medical care as dependent practitioners. According to the consensus survey, the profession did actually consent to regulation of MAPS.

@ishpoo43 @dx_mighty Some PAs come from bioscience backgrounds, which would put them at band 6 in the NHS if they were to become clinical scientists after graduation. Even higher pay if they go private pharma etc. Band 7 is appropriate for these people who also have two year MSc on top.

@Dr_BellaR With all due respect I think you might be mistaken. The introduction of the American PAs over 20 years ago in the Uk were not meant to be mere assistants in the literal sense. If you look up old documents on scope you can also confirm this.

@caroll_ste87889 @gmcuk @RCPhysicians This is genuinely concerning. Obvious push of a one sided narrative, with wishywashy data being used as concrete evidence by MPs to further an agenda. @guardian even responsible for using this data in its articles on PAs. Proper debate, data, and evidence is needed.

@UKGastroDr I agree that fostering a culture where people feel empowered to speak up is crucial, but it's equally important to maintain kindness and professionalism. We can create an environment where open discussion thrives alongside compassion and respect

@parthaskar @SecretPhysician @SaraTon08500527 Of course we are all entitled to our views I see that you are an advocate for IMGs and promote the wellbeing of doctors. But my takeaway from our conversation yesterday was you dismissing genuine harassment of another healthcare profession, and steering the discussion away.

@UKGastroDr Well you’re obviously concerned enough to raise it as an issue, but I’m not sure posting on social media is helping to rectify the problem. A simple solution would be to drop an email informing them of the error, or highlight to an FPA ambassador. Given that you work at the RCP?

@adje__ @KhanK02759319 No, it’s an opportunity for people to go and do their own reading on the role, perhaps even discuss with colleagues that employ PAs… but I suspect these people are firmly set in their bias and don’t genuinely want an answer to their question

@JanetEastham Only 22 prescriptions over 7 months. They’ve had PAs in this trust for years and years, and they’re incredibly experienced and valuable to the teams. Seems like a genuine IT blunder, rather than intentional.
