@zackferguson Exactly this. There’s long been a feeling that doctors will (eventually) get paid a shit ton of money so they can afford to pay for training. Now we are asking juniors to help support PAs who are paid more than them and seem in some places to get better training opportunities.
@ollieburtonmed This is madness We have a new role with no regulatory body; no defined remit so no way of measuring if their training meets the needs of the non existent remit! Plus the role is affecting junior doctor training. It’s not fair on the PAs themselves or the junior doctors.
@parthaskar@RCPhysicians What really gets me is how on earth we have started a PA program without knowing their remit. How can we train a whole group of people when the end aim of that training has never been formalised. Surely we have no idea if the training meets their remit at work if that’s not set.
@ConorJones921 Sadly no as it’s something I’m running with another ED/geriatric consultant and we don’t have the tech support and infrastructure to stream sorry.
An excellent one day conference looking at - Current research into older chest injuries. Haematology and how it affects trauma. Spinal injuries in the older population. The vital role of the geriatrician and rehab and how if differs. https://t.co/AUUjlrburQ

@DrRobgalloway I went into my sons school and did an assembly about the importance of exercise and told them all it would improve their attention no end!! Far more than another maths lesson!!

Radiographers are striking today and I support them. I could not do my job without them. They really are one of many groups of unsung heroes in the NHS And deserve to be paid better.
It sounds like many, many hospitals are suffering today with the strikes. I very much doubt any ED or wards are truely safe today. Good luck to everyone over the next 5 days
It strikes me (pun very much intended) that we value and pay properly people who make money and not those who care, protect and educate. There’s so much wrong in that.
@GPDrYvetteDoc I’m not sure ranting between primary and secondary care will help anything. No one is deliberately doing their job badly and holding onto information sharing in either direction.
@trentconsultant When my best friend died in the navy they included the (incorrect) price of her parents house in the article. Totally irrelevant and a lie!! Seems to be their thing.
@TJCoats We’re working together to try and get this better in NBT. Shameless plug here for our October older trauma conference in Bristol. Severn older trauma conference on eventbrite.
