@SandipP61970438 @anaesthetic_spr I think A&E is a rotation that will benefit best to do as FY2+. I suspect many doctors feel the same. However, we shouldn’t denigrate FY1s for this. There’s people envious of Drs’ knowledge and status, who have and will use it as fuel for their own entitled career aspirations.

@SandipP61970438 @anaesthetic_spr Soon, doctors of all grades will be seen as of little use in ED. When you are replaced, do you think the ACPs you’ve cherished and protected over your F1 doctor colleagues will fight to keep you?

[Sir Thinkalot's Anonymous Rantations @AnonRantations]

@DrHuw Yeah but put a white coat on the pony and the neigh-sayers will be clutching their pearls.

[Sir Thinkalot's Anonymous Rantations @AnonRantations]

@medicalmodelbri Staff see new, nervous A&E FY2s and think how stupid they are, I could do their job. Forgetting this person is inexperienced to THIS job but at the end of the day is a qualified doctor. If you build a good foundation, a house looks unfinished for longer.

@dgraemestewart @Megsenmumdr They have to defend the nurse because any criticism reflects on their judgement to hire appropriately trained staff.

[Sir Thinkalot's Anonymous Rantations @AnonRantations]

@medicalmodelbri What I’ve noticed in common in adverts for certain roles or training is that it purely presented as an opportunity for personal gain, with no emphasis on what the responsibility of the role entails. Some will recognise it out of their own volition, but many won’t.

@Megsenmumdr @AmandaHensman @medicalmodelbri @RosalieBoyce @Anisocyte @noodles_nood @DrLKVaughan @fletchjack @thomasdolphin @Mike88881221 @trentconsultant @BMA_Consultants @G_D_Phillips1 @mmamas1973 @drokane @TheBMA @JatinderHayre_ There’s nothing wrong in itself with not passing Maths. Likewise there’s nothing wrong with not being good at running or swimming. Some people reach the standard for the county/national team easily, some don’t and have to put much effort in, and some will never achieve it.

@neilorpen @Johnrashton47 If anything happens to any one of us, there will be a cursory departmental email and your replacement will be warming your seat before your body is cold in the fridge. If you retire, you’ll be called an irrelevant dinosaur if you have outdated views. You’re a cog in a wheel.

[Sir Thinkalot's Anonymous Rantations @AnonRantations]

@Anisocyte @WiseOwl1730570 This is to be expected from ACPs, or any profession to preserve their role. Consultant enablers view themselves as different from, and better than RDs rather than fellow doctors. This is why they aren’t protective of RD jobs and surprised when the consultant jobs are jeopardised.

@Rob_Smithers @anaesthetic_spr Ball-and-chain compulsory 360 degree feedback means many of them have to keep their head down if they have any chance of progressing.

[Sir Thinkalot's Anonymous Rantations @AnonRantations]

@medicalmodelbri Probably the uni. It’s a business and they’re selling a product, so they’re advertising the benefits of the product. You still have to use your discernment. Unfortunately not everyone has access to appropriate advice when making career decisions.

@dieracg @TVW_PAs @KSS_PAS These courses appeal to many who didn’t get into medicine. However, working in close proximity to doctors can build resentment and need for validation. Best thing mentally is probably to be further away, accept it for what it is and build a good career elsewhere.

@medicalmodelbri @Anisocyte Hypothetical scenario: You may be driving for a long time, you may believe you’re good enough to pass the driving test, you may have had the opportunity to book/take your test. Ultimately without an official licence, should you be allowed to drive independently?

[Sir Thinkalot's Anonymous Rantations @AnonRantations]

@Xeon4f145d96s1 It’s that darstardly vocal minority again. Maybe the RDs should leave the WhatsApp group and the dept so the consultant can be left with their beloveds. Someone close to this can probably sniff out the FFS.

@medicalmodelbri @rcgp @VictoriaTzB @DoctorsVoteUK @doctor_katie @DrNeenaJha @DrSteveTaylor @dave_dlt @DrLKVaughan If this is a resident it needs to go into the GMC survey. If they’re rotating, there will be more than one doctor subject to this nonsense.

@anaesthetic_spr According to the SOP, you have to utter the phrase, “Wingardium Doctorosa,” and the FY2 on call will appear to sort out the situation and take any liability for complications .

@chriscraigCCC @timricketts_ Those in leadership pushing this forward have their own selfish reasons. They don’t care about other doctors but really they don’t care about PAs either. They’ll drop them too if/when they no longer serve their own interests. Both parties wasted years for others’ gain.

[Dr Aadam Aziz @Aadam_Aziz]

Doctor substitution is rising, and patients are being left unsure who is actually responsible for their care.

Our new Doctor lanyards and badge holders are now available to order, a practical step to restore clarity and protect patients. #AskForADoctor

Like A&E Nurses married to EM Consultants who are then promoted to ACP, RCEM credentialed, promoted to Consultant ACP- all within the same Dept
