Today 350 anaesthetists, trained purely in anaesthesia for the last 3 years, were turned down for the next stage of anaesthetics training in the UK. This is despite @RCoANews stating there is a "current shortage of 1400 anaesthetists in the UK"...🧵

If I hear ONE MORE politician promise "more medschool places" without FIXING these bottlenecks I am going to scream. I have already written a letter to @wesstreeting with very little in return. @SteveBarclay clearly holds docs in contempt. Aus/NZ are doing very well out of this!

@RCoAPresident , can you explain why anaesthetics training in this country isn't run through? Why are we asking highly qualified adults in their 30s to live in limbo or move halfway across the country? The work still needs doing - we hire staff grades to fill in the gaps.

RCOA also predict a "shortfall of 11,000 anaesthetic staff by 2040 to meet additional demand". These applicants have already been through 5-6yrs med school, 2yrs foundation training and 3yrs anaesthetic training = approx 12 years. They are early 30s, trying to settle down...

@DrANChekroud @RCoANews As I replied elsewhere, if the @RCoANews uncoupled anaesthetics training because the exam was too hard to pass, it clearly values extremely difficult exams as part of becoming an anaesthetist. So why allow AAs to perform the same procedure without the same qualifications..?

It is entirely possible the FRCA is harder than it actually needs to be. That or it's necessary, in which case why not needed for AAs?

@EH172 @RCoANews There were only 300 jobs available for 650 applicants. Who gets the jobs is based on a points-based system (which has a TON of its own flaws) and an interview (done online). The reality is most of the applicants would likely be more than capable anaesthetic registrars.

Have always thought we should massively increase number of grad entry medschool places in UK. Plenty of 21+ yrs olds that decide to do medicine after 1st degree, more mature, can complete in 4yrs. Is crazy how hard we make it for grads to do medicine atm.

This is important. PAs + AAs do not have unique training that doctors don't also have. AHPs such as physios/OTs/paramedics/CNSs/pharmacists have unique training and skills that make them incredibly valuable members of the MDT. Stop conflating them.

@sh_abbers Jesus 🤦‍♀️ I remember someone on my A&E rota asking for compassionate leave for a funeral. The consultant said "yes of course! But what time will you be back? If you get back by 6pm you could do a 6pm-4am shift?" The absolute gall.

@mevparekh Always write useless filler in discharge summaries such as "many thanks for your continued care for this patient" so the GP gets more to read cos they love reading.

@zackferguson Exam retakes. Portfolio fees. Commute because they get moved all the time. Moving costs as we have to often move flat every year or 2

@RoshanaMN Was thinking when I heard you on @TheNewsAgents about the more sinister, internal consequences of failed staff retention. The lack of slack in staffing levels allows for bullying + sexist behaviour to continue without consequence as the NHS is simply too desperate to lose anyone

@SteveBarclay @DHSCgovuk Do you really think posting pics of you sitting at a table and grinning is helping doctors understand why you continue to refuse to sit at the table with them?

@IanStockport I really don't think we should be allowed to run a medical training system that means anyone below consultant should be putting off starting a family. It's 2023.

@RoshanaMN @RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK Would recommend @RestIsPolitics read this article summarising a lot of the issues of political mismanagement of the health service

Highly skilled doctors like me once helped shape the NHS – now we’re cogs in a broken machine |...

Consultants’ expertise is ignored in a service laid to waste by cuts that endanger patients. That’s why we have voted to strike, says consultant anaesthetist Claudia Paoloni

@ShelaghFogarty Please bring this up with Wes at 2pm today. I can't call in as I have clinic. I spoke to him about it on your show on 13th December 2022 and he STILL hasn't specifically told us what he's planning to do about BOTTLENECKS and doctor RETENTION. He's known about this for months

@arcl The classic "did you even go to medical school?!" shouted down the phone at me after I didn't know the exact half-life of Vitamin K....told my supervisor I felt I had been bullied and got told "oh that's just what that consultant is like". Er, unacceptable?!

@ZS_Chaudhry Not to mention moving costs, often long commutes, constant sense of uncertainty about rotas/next rotation/next hospital. Hate to think how much money I've lost over the years because of rotational training. It's not particularly eco friendly nor viable to those without enough ££

@SteveBarclay @wesstreeting LISTEN to the NHS staff for solutions; the paramedics, doctors, nurses. We need more staff NOW - not medical students. RETAIN the staff you have. And STOP asking them to "increase efficiency". Imagine the MORAL INJURY they are facing on a daily basis.

@JRCPTB With specific reference to Cardiology ST3 recruitment, isn't it now time to make it a national recruitment system rather than regional? Regional recruitment is based on an antiquated system of "hiring your own" and only benefits the interviewers. 1/2
