@NHSEngland @gmcuk @DHSCgovuk I believe you may have first drawn attention to these posters, @tess1728? If so, my heartfelt thanks for highlighting such concerning practice from an NHS body.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

@NHSEngland @gmcuk @DHSCgovuk This runs entirely counter to the NHS duty of candour.

Its dishonest.

It’s taking huge risks with patient safety.

And today we’ve discovered it involves @NHSEngland being at ease with breaking the law to achieve its ends.

How staggeringly low can you go?

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

@NHSEngland @gmcuk @DHSCgovuk But the government & @NHSEngland are currently engaged in a completely non-transparent project of substituting swathes of doctors in a huge variety of roles with non-doctors.

Without discussion. Without risk analysis. Without evidence. Without public debate. 9/n

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

@NHSEngland @gmcuk @DHSCgovuk Now in no sense am I suggesting the various professional groups in the wider MDT don’t bring immeasurable strengths to NHS care.

I work, for example, with the most brilliant specialist palliative care nurses whose particular skill set is so extraordinarily important. 8/n

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

@NHSEngland @gmcuk @DHSCgovuk I never dreamed these folk would literally resort to illegal misrepresentation of non-doctors as doctors - but here we are, at a new & dismally low bar.

Way to go in earning the public’s & the profession’s trust @NHSEngland & @gmcuk 👏👏👏

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

I think this is breathtakingly unscrupulous from @NHSEngland, @gmcuk, @DHSCgovuk & everyone else involved in this project of confusing & bamboozling the public into believing they’ve seen a doctor when they’ve been fobbed off with someone less well trained & experienced. 6/n

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Just as bad, they’ve suggested general practices have “cancer specialists” yet these staff are not oncologists or even doctors at all.

They know full well many people regard “cancer specialist” as synonymous with oncologist. And clearly intend to misread the public. 5/n

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Yet here we have an NHS body openly (& dishonestly, & illegally) presenting PAs to the public as “physicians” - doctors - when they are no such thing.

Far from having a 5 year medical degree, they’ve only completed a 2 year PA course whose exit exam with a 100% pass rate. 4/n

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Legally, only a qualified doctor with a medical degree can call themselves a physician.

And, though it’s not a legally protected term, I don’t believe anyone who’s not a senior doctor with specialist training in oncology should call themselves a “cancer specialist” either. 3/n

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

I downloaded the posters from their website, here: https://t.co/mKjwONtqnZ

“Physician” is a title that’s protected in law - to protect you, the public, from the dangers of fake doctors masquerading as the real thing. 2/n

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

I’m simply horrified to see @NHSEngland now literally breaking the law in how it misrepresents physician associates & other allied health professional - who are NOT doctors - to the public.

These posters are from the Bradford District & Craven Health & Care Partnership. 1/n

If everyone who wants The Conversatives out on the 4th of July follows and retweets we'll reach a million by midnight and have a much bigger voice for the next six weeks.

[The Med Reg @MedRegoncall1]

☢️ A Physician Assistant was absolutely deadweight during cardiac arrest and the Anaethetist told him to “get lost” 💀☠️

⭕️He can do his own Endoscopy list but cannot cannulate?

⭕️PAs are being picky when it comes to jobs

⭕️Just a burden on the entire team.

Thank you @guardian for giving this topic a platform & allowing me to contribute

Remember the government’s pledge to deliver 6000 more GPs by 2024?

They lied.

They used £1.4bn to fund GP replacements by non doctors instead.

Struggling to see a GP now? Trust me, it’s about to get a lot worse….

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Having failed on its promise to deliver 6000 more GPs by 2024, the government is quietly replacing GPs with non-medics.

Over half of all surgery appointments are now with non-GP staff such as PAs.

It’s an astonishing, wholesale change to NHS care - without patient consent.

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

Just a reminder that 14 yrs ago there were no waiting lists over 18-weeks, no 12-hour A&E waits, no waiting an hour for an urgent ambulance, over 90% of cancer patients started treated within two months, everyone could see their GP within 2-days,…

Then we got the Tories

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

It's strange how a billionaire, who's literally stealing billions for his wife and father-in-law, is telling us that homeless people, asylum seekers and disabled people who have almost nothing are the problem

What is even stranger is that there are people stupid enough to listen
