This is concerning. As a doctor if I saw a referral with a GMC number and signature at the end I would assume it is a doctor referring. So what chance does anyone else have of knowing who’s referring? Especially as surgeons write Mr/Miss and not Dr.

In my department we have a team of MAPs who do ward rounds, bloods, DC letters and follow up for simple cases. They are very good. They don’t go and operate. Not once. It is lazy senior doctors and struggling hospitals who are using PA/MAPs unsafely.

Safety fears as non-medical staff learn neurosurgery ‘on the job’

Physician associates (PAs) without medical training are learning “neurosurgery on the job” as royal medical colleges call “extraordinary” meetings over the use of the unregulated profession.

Agree with this. It is senior doctors who are to blame for lost training to doctors and blurring of lines. The lazy seniors don’t want to train a new bunch every 4-6 months and would rather train PAs. These ones are obvious with their outpour on X with replies blocked.

The consultant pay offer is a landmark in the future of medicine. If you vote yes you are voting to train MAPs with no control. It’s an underhanded way to force this change in the wake of doctors being aware of their worth. Think hard. It will affect who treats your family.

@RCRadiologists @halliday_kath What the hell is going on here? Is there an alternative route to consultancy that doesn’t require medical school, radiology training and FRCR? Members will expect a swift and comprehensive reply to this nonsense.

@AlexNevard Sometimes the worst referrals come from the consultant, I think they feel they are too senior to bother with referapatient. The referral should come from the person who’s seen and knows the patient.

@BMA_James_Steen They can pass what ever they want. Ultimate if the consultants refuse to supervise them then that’s nothing the management can do. This is why our is important to REJECT the proposed CONSULTANT contract.

@Lamboozler Personally I really liked the selfies of support. It reassured me the bosses were behind us. Especially if it came with that message.

@zackferguson Doctor: when did the headache start? Patient: sometime this morning. Doctor: what time was that? Patient: in the morning around breakfast time. Doctor: what time do you have breakfast? Patient: early in the morning…

@DrJSherrington I’ve seen a lot of penis. Never found one with poor hygiene/smell that doesn’t have a foreskin. On the other hand ones with foreskin… I’ve had to hold back vomiting many times!

@Parody_RCGP It’s about perception. 1. Hospital doctors - no appointments = too busy 2. GPs painted as not working hard/part time by media 3. GPs not as respected by public as before as seen as ‘not specislist’ - just a route to hospital ‘specialist’ 4. Public apathy to failing NHS

@DrLucyDouglas You have a duty of candour to tell the patient it was a delayed diagnosis especially if they have come to harm.

@Dr_Done_ This is a misrepresentation of what I said. I did not say they are planned. I merely stated that Consultant is not a protected title - we already have Consultant nurses and Consultant radiographers (and probs others).

@drcolinm Interestingly in his reply @drcolinm never denied seeing the use of the ‘consultant’ title as an issue. He denied saying it but if someone else said it he may have agreed or at least not seen it as an issue.

Is it just me or is medicine being made more of a ‘working class’ job in the name of ‘accessibility’? The pay will be rubbish but the hard working, aspirational individuals who believe they’re doing the ‘greater good’ will be drawn to it?

We are making careers in medicine more accessible by launching the first 200 doctor apprenticeships in the NHS. This is an important step with @NHS_HealthEdEng to grow the workforce and ensure anyone with the ability and passion for medicine can be a doctor.

Very jealous/inspired of how Queens Square are helping and are proud of their SHOs! The rest need to step their game up! Be proud of the surgeons (and humans) you help to mould. #neurotwitter #mentoring

10 @QSNeurosurgery SHOs were shortlisted for National selection. They are all brilliant Drs ( humans). I have no doubt that the ones not successful this year will have a National training number next year. @QSNeurosurgery will do everything we can to make that possible
