@pa_StephenNash When was the last time you saw a doctor wearing a lab coat? Do you also not see the irony in seeing a group of people wearing medical gear, not clearly identifying themselves, and assuming they are doctors?

“Patients will be in no doubt who is to blame for this chaos”

Isn’t that right @wesstreeting

[Dan1d1 @Dan1d13]

@kateshilling69 @BMAResidents @RossNieuwoudt @Melissa_S_Ryan @wesstreeting @DHSCgovuk Not sure who's supposed to be who in your comparison?

[Dan1d1 @Dan1d13]

@csljohnkirby @ExplosiveEnema2 Yes, they are. The review and the statements by Wes Streeting makes it clear that they are assistants, and not a replacement to a qualified doctor. There should be no level of doctor paid less than their assistants.

[Dan1d1 @Dan1d13]

@DHSCgovuk @wesstreeting @lengreview Can we all agree that a doctor should start on a higher wage than their assistants do? At no point should an assistant earn more than a qualified doctor.

[Dan1d1 @Dan1d13]

@wesstreeting So act. You can't say doctors are paid fairly when their assistants start on a higher wage than they do. Maybe time to reconsider talks with @TheBMA

[Dan1d1 @Dan1d13]

@csljohnkirby @ExplosiveEnema2 But at no point is the PA not the doctors assistant. The PA is still the assistant to the FY1, who has more training and a greater skill set. How can a doctor of any grade be paid less than their assistant? PAs also dont work out of hours/nights, and usually fewer hours per week

"We fight once more for a regulator that can clearly define who can, and who cannot, practice medicine. Today I’m announcing for the first time in over 150 years, we are launching a new BMA register solely for doctors."
@DrPhilBanfield addresses #BMAARM25 calling for doctors to act now and sign the BMA register 👇

@MarkHal87606381 @DrHWazir @wesstreeting Go on then, post a single job listing for a first year specialty trainee or post foundation clinical fellow earning £60k for a 40 hour FTE job

[Dan1d1 @Dan1d13]

@DrNeilStone Yes, please let's resolve it through negotiation. Unfortunately, it takes two parties to negotiate and this government seems to want to replicate the last one and not bother showing up.

[Dan1d1 @Dan1d13]

@Anongas33 Maybe address the fact that anaesthetics training takes twice as long as in Aus or USA because of service provision and deliberate bottlenecks, rather than rushing in unqualified quacks? Patients deserve better.

[DoctorsVote @DoctorsVoteUK]

With a 40 hour week this works out at £12.26 an hour. Doctors undergo six years of med school and some have 100k of debt.

@NHSBartsHealth wants doctors to make life or death decisions for close to minimum wage.

Does this seem right to you?

[Dan1d1 @Dan1d13]

@Dr_XYZ @Xeon4f145d96s1 @MedReddit @gmcuk @AnaesUnited It's ironic because doctors are struck off for less if they are deemed to undermine the profession or negatively impact public confidence. Yet @gmcuk never seems to face any consequences.

[Dan1d1 @Dan1d13]

@Xeon4f145d96s1 @MedReddit @gmcuk @AnaesUnited So, @gmcuk, did you intentionally break the law and breach the 1983 medical act, by referring to PAs as medical practitioners, or was it a mistake? If the latter, then how are the general public supposed to fare if their own regulator can't get it right?

[Dan1d1 @Dan1d13]

@JillWitherjay17 What's the exchange rate for years of your life and your mental health? Plus, the student debt you will still be paying for decades later

[Dan1d1 @Dan1d13]

@Statsjamiefact @Doc_IonaCollins There's a difference between blindly typing stuff into Google and using online resources to supplement your own knowledge. I'd much prefer to have a doctor that looked stuff up rather than assumed they knew everything. A doctor that looks stuff up is safe, and staying up to date

@DrMohitBhagia @ZainKhanMed @Xeon4f145d96s1 @PedroOscarRCun1 I'm not sure why you are copying and pasting this screenshot to everybody, as if it changes what you said?

[Dan1d1 @Dan1d13]

@DrMohitBhagia @ZainKhanMed @Xeon4f145d96s1 @PedroOscarRCun1 "We actually study medicine while there, unlike the UK" doesn't sound like a respectful comment about your friends and colleagues, it sounds like contempt.
