All medical doctors in the UK should have their MBBS or MBChB transferred to an MD postnominal and these should be the only people allowed to call themselves Doctor in a healthcare setting.
Anything else is too open to misinterpretation.
Triaged on a corridor, moved to an inappropriate ward. Treated by an under qualified staff member working out of scope amounting to gross negligence manslaughter.
This is the modern NHS and it makes me furious.
My condolences to Susan’s family, this is unacceptable.
Even in the most aggressive of Trusts, if you stand together, hold the line, you will win. United we have *all of the power*. Organise in your Trust, join your consultant WhatsApp, you do not need to accept what you are given. https://t.co/yzGw74DrUu
Hi @wesstreeting,
PAs will use @gmcuk registration to further blur the lines between doctors and non-doctors.
Do you think a patient will be able to tell that a ‘GMC registered medical professional’ is NOT a doctor, when staff can’t?
PAs should be regulated by HCPC not GMC.
First and foremost; it’s nowhere near safe for patients.
But it also places an unreasonable burden and risk on the remaining doctors on the shift/rota.
They end up carrying more workload as the MAP isn’t competent or able to do what the doctor they’ve replaced could’ve done.
Last year, 1436 criminal court hearings were delayed because there was no barrister to represent one side or the other.
Back in 2019, that number was just 71.
For @CounselMagazine I ask:
Where have all the criminal barristers gone?
What troubles me most about @kimleadbeater’s bill is that it places a legal obligation on the Secretary of State to ensure that assisted dying is available to patients for whom he’s under no such duty to provide adequate palliative care. 🧵 https://t.co/dUE35OkWft
I cannot believe Kim Leadbeater has said on R4 “the UK has some of the best palliative care in the world”
Many palliative care doctors would publicly disagree with this and the Health Secretary has said the poor state of palliative care is one of the reasons he opposes the Bill
