What happened Wes? Tax payers money wasted on a review that you ignored. Most importantly your successor is doing nothing to protect patients. He's a chip off the old block, no money for Drs but more than enough for their assistants. It's clear our Drs are being driven out.

@GMB A whole 50?! NHS England alone has a reported dentist vacancy figure of 2700 - 3200.

50 would be laughable if it wasn’t so offensive.

@Janeajnet @valhumphreys51 @BSmytheee @BWC_NHS Cue “Nurse Consultants” calling themselves “doctors” and saying they’re consultants when seeing patients.

Oh, what’re you a doctor of?
“Supply chain management”
Great, thanks. That’s really going to help this acutely unwell patient.

@Xeon4f145d96s1 This is all very odd. I’d love to hear the nurses perspective!

[Jen Johnston @LittlePersonDoc]

@Xeon4f145d96s1 I wouldn’t enjoy working in resus with this person.

We have brilliant pharmacists. They don’t attend resus cases. They aren’t APLS certified as they have no reason to be and they aren’t Drs and don’t claim to be.

@Xeon4f145d96s1 They all sound like arseholes except the poor doc trying to do his job. The fact that she says this happens 'multiple' times to her is a 🚩I wanted her to stop talking and I wasn't even there 🤣

[platinumpizza™ @Xeon4f145d96s1]

Going from a reg. pharmacist to a doctor in pharmacy (most likely by way of a research degree/ thesis in a niche research question) adds absolutely no value or expertise in any recommendation you are making (beyond what you are contributing already as a pharmacist) in an arrest.

[platinumpizza™ @Xeon4f145d96s1]

Given the MD will be reviewing notes/ working on the reversible causes it’s easy to miss a drug or dose recommendation and checking it can only be a good thing. If the issue was the tone it’d be different but it seems like the issue was being questioned at all.

[platinumpizza™ @Xeon4f145d96s1]

I personally don’t think the nurse checking with the medical doctor (AKA the person leading the arrest who holds ultimate responsibility and liability) is a bad thing.

Cardiac arrests are notoriously highly chaotic and closed loop communication is literally taught in ALS.

[platinumpizza™ @Xeon4f145d96s1]

Interesting video of a pharmacist/ nurse disc. management in a cardiac arrest.

Can’t help but reflect on the fact that I’ve never attended a CA with a pharmacist (maybe a cultural difference) and secondly why the pharmacist keeps calling herself a doctor in this situation…

@Jeremy_Hunt This underlines the stupidity of placing completely unqualified politicians in charge of government departments.

It appears you are a huge supporter of PA training pathways, education and development, and career progression

Closely aligned with some other infamous characters in the #PAproject

[Life in the slow lane @drokane]

@wesstreeting you set the GMC on doctors whose relatives were being slaughtered because they called it out.

[Jen Johnston @LittlePersonDoc]

An autonomous practitioner of medicine with no medical degree, no formal PG training. What could go wrong?

I made take this account more seriously if the owner weren’t anonymous.

Another Health Secretary from Management Consulting Land.

He is imposing an expensive & unnecessary solution to a problem which doesn’t exist, while creating tomorrow’s problems today.

@VincentVanGrump @Justobserv76205 @medicalmodelbri @BMA_James_Steen Then ACPs are even more in the wrong band given they’re less medically qualified than an F1, working on a medical rota, and being paid at B8.

So either we downband everyone and claim it’s a big mistake.

Or we admit doctors are underpaid.

[Anisopoikilocyte @Anisocyte]

@VincentVanGrump @Justobserv76205 @medicalmodelbri @BMA_James_Steen @TheBMA Even so, it’s a massive elephant in the room.
A better qualified individual for the role (the doctor) is on £45,994-54,499/y (F2-CT2, no automatic pay progression).

The lesser qualified individual (ACP) is on £57,528-£64,750 (automatic pay progression).

How is this allowed?

[James Steen @BMA_James_Steen]

All the time they’re paying physicians’ assistants more than doctors, the government’s position of “there’s no more money for doctors” is utterly untenable.
