The UK attracts large numbers of overseas students (despite the very high fees our universities charge) because of the international reputation of our universities. But education is a global market and these students can easily go elsewhere if they feel unwanted in the UK.

[Professor Azeem Majeed @Azeem_Majeed]

As a university academic, it saddens me to see how some politicians and sections of the media speak about overseas students. Rather than extolling the many economic and cultural benefits these students bring to the UK, they see them as a burden and focus on the negative aspects.

People living poorer areas have complex health needs, multiple comorbidities & disadvantaged social circumstances. Yet they are more likely to be registered with general practices using physician associates. Our new article in @bmj_latest @MohammadRazai https://t.co/MOxxHtVXYd

Use of online tools rather than face-to-face consultations has led to misdiagnoses, missed illnesses and delayed care

[Professor Azeem Majeed @Azeem_Majeed]

I’m listening to medical students present on how they would tackle a key public health challenge.
Students: We will be speaking about the prevention of type 2 diabetes in older people.
Me: Who do you define as an older person?
Students: Anyone over 40.

Me: 😭😭😭

[Professor Azeem Majeed @Azeem_Majeed]

As a doctor and medical educator, my view is that the GMC is misguided in trying to produce combined standards on Good Medical Practice for doctors and physician associates. These are distinct groups with different professional roles and each should have their own guidance.
