These PA courses should be paused @ucas_online due to current safety issues. You’re promoting Course content that isn’t safe and does not follow @TheBMA or @NHSEngland guidance . The PAs won’t be able to do these things anymore because doctors have to keep patients safe

This is why the title needs to go back to ASSISTANT. Why are PAs with a 2 year course in charge of care homes residents ? Can a PA work as an autonomous accountable ASSOCIATE PHYSICIAN? How many more deaths? @doctorshaib @DrNeenaJha @Dr_Done_ @doctor_oxford @parthaskar

An Instagram post from a PA that is newly qualified. Running their own clinics. - abdominal pain - dizziness - wt loss Can anyone tell me why this is not a GP doing this? Would the outcomes be better with a GP? Or am I just going crazy?

‘Working alongside ‘ is my most hated quote from todays research. You don’t work alongside . You are DEPENDENT which means UNDER. Not on the same level as a dr. You’ve just been enabled . Patient safety comes before your clinical skills tickboxes

It all starts here and this is where it needs to stop first . Stop recruiting onto these courses for 24-25 entry . A pause is needed . If doctors will be working to @TheBMA scope then much of the activities described here will be irrelevant.

‘We’re taught according to the medical model 🤔 I know PAs that have only been in the industry for a handful of years and work at the competency of a speciality registrar .As PA graduates we’re expected to work and be just as knowledgable as F2s as soon as we begin working’

Haven’t come across this one before. This reinforces everything that we’ve seen so far 🚨No rules 🚨we can do what we want to do 🚨start with less glamorous ward work 🚨repeatedly ask to do complex skills until the consultant says yes 🚨take over JD jobs 🚨teach the JDs

This video needs to be put up on the big screen wherever the title ‘Physician Associate’ being reverted back to ‘assistant ‘ is discussed. It changed to ‘associate ‘ because of ego, hubris ,self promotion NOT for patient safely @parthaskar @RobLaurensonD4P @RobLaurensonD4P

This is a short clip of Jeannie Watkins, the former president of the FPA where she openly alludes to a model where “we can blur lines between professions”. Is this leadership representative of what most PAs want and think of their roles? If not, why are they elected?

@gmcuk @gmcuk is it safe for PAs to see undifferentiated patients in GP after only 16 weeks in GP placement over the 2 year course ? This is what is happening.

‘Under what authority does the BMA think that it can set scope for PAs who have already been working under the scope set by FPA/RCP. This is about pay and fears about PAs taking doctors jobs , it is not about patient safety .
