🔴NEW: NHS England orders hospitals to stop using physician associates to cover doctors’ shifts after @Telegraph investigation reveals that the practice is widespread.

@NiallHarbison He has ears like Dobbie from Harry Potter 😁. He's landed on his feet being found by you, Niall.

@ConsUltaNT_ACP That might be the case for some or maybe even the majority, but definitely not all.

@medicalmodelbri @gmcuk @jamesmurray_ldn Has the name even been changed to Physician Assistants? The NHS is broken.

[Anne Slater @AnneKSlater]

@medicalmodelbri @gmcuk @jamesmurray_ldn It's incomprehensible that nothing has been implemented from the Leng Review. What was the point of it and how much did it cost? Trusts still advertising jobs for PAs way above their scope - oh, I forgot, nobody has set scope! Now we have ANPs and ACPs with scope creep.

@Cartermill65675 @DrTweXet Not sure where you get your information from

[Anne Slater @AnneKSlater]

@Cartermill65675 @DrTweXet I follow highly respected medical professionals.

[Anne Slater @AnneKSlater]

@Cartermill65675 @DrTweXet And this is what is happening - medicine is being "dumbed down"

[Anne Slater @AnneKSlater]

@Cartermill65675 @DrTweXet And how do you explain this?

[Anne Slater @AnneKSlater]

@Cartermill65675 @DrTweXet This is just another example of working outside scope. Unfortunately, nobody seems to want to set a scope for PAs, AAs, ANPs, ACPs. It's almost as though they are "medical apprentices", but they'll never get to do the nitty gritty of medicine without a medical degree.

@Cartermill65675 @DrTweXet I've read about them doing lumber punctures, arterial bloods, assisting in surgical procedures. All these require an in depth medical background.

[Anne Slater @AnneKSlater]

@Cartermill65675 @DrTweXet As a mere patient, my understanding is that they are invaluable and good at their jobs within their scope. However, they are often working outside of this scope and don't have the medical knowledge to cope when something goes wrong.

@NiallHarbison You talked about maybe establishing a safe area in your own home for her. Would it be possible to build her a "safe haven" in the retirement complex. You and your staff are in and out, so she would get human company.She could watch the dogs,so long as she isn't terrified by them.

@Go_CheshireWest
Can I enquire why the green bin collection is delayed until mid March (20th in our area)? In previous years first collections have been at the end of Feb (early March for our area). The cost has increased by almost 5%.

@medicalmodelbri We've been able to use online booking for a few years now. Tried phoning recently dead on 0800 - no 27 in the queue. Tried booking online - no appointments available for the next 2 weeks. Then filled in for a call back - that actually worked and husband was seen that morning.

@parthaskar @lengreview Have you had the results of your appeal against their decision yet?

[Anne Slater @AnneKSlater]

@ConsUltaNT_ACP @dru_jlh A hero without a cape. The patient and family must be so relieved that you were there. The ambulance service is stretched, but who's going to fix it and the rest of the NHS 😔.

[Anne Slater @AnneKSlater]

@valhumphreys51 @AnaesUnited Absolutely gutting
