[Alzheimer's Society @alzheimerssoc]

'I’m truly bowled over by the outpouring of support and affection since revealing my dementia diagnosis.

'Receiving a dementia diagnosis can turn your world upside down, but I really do believe it’s better to know.

'Too many people are experiencing delays in diagnosis - on average 3.5 years - meaning they’re left in limbo without the help they need.

'An early diagnosis can open the door to treatment, support, care and the chance to take part in research that could change the future. 

'People living with dementia and their families have waited long enough for change. We must demand better for everyone affected.

'I would urge everyone to join me in signing Alzheimer’s Society’s open letter calling on government to deliver a bold and ambitious plan for dementia.’

❗️THE PLAN WAS ALWAYS SUBSTITUTION❗️

“There is then an ambition to increase PA numbers in the UK to make sure that maximum value is derived from
them as medical substitutes

…which is largely behind the call for them to be subject to statutory regulation”

THIS is why the GMC have been ploughing ahead with their plan to register PAs!

Why is the “independent” doctor’s regulator involved in substitution of its own members?!

The GMC have gone rogue.

It is time for a new regulator of doctors.

The government has announced a rapid independent review of physician associates and anaesthesia associates, to consider how the roles are deployed in the NHS.

The review will examine the scope and safety of the roles

The @gmcuk are looking a bit silly this morning having been entirely complicit & at the forefront of this project

Perhaps if less time was spent meddling in health policy & employment & more ensuring safety as a regulator they wouldn’t be in this embarrassing position

[The Doctor Magazine @TheDrMagazine]

The Government has announced a review of the roles of Physician Associates and Anaesthesia Associates.

@TheBMA says a clear, nationally agreed scope of practice is essential.

Council chair @DrPhilBanfield says:
“It should never have got to this point. But now that we're here let's work together to provide certainty for patients - with clear guidelines, clear job titles, clear roles.” 👇

🧠 Memory operates as a complex spectrum, encompassing various forms that range from recalling simple names to encoding life-shaping experiences. Each type of memory serves distinct functions within the brain’s intricate system. #MemoryScience

As Professor Steve Rogelberg says in his book, The Surprising Science of Meetings,
"one of the key tactics known to prevent groupthink is to make sure contrarian and unique perspectives surface during the course of discussions" (p.108) #groupthink #teamwork #sketchnote

Hi, I’m Matt and welcome to my TED talk. Really engaging morning with the first year DClinPsy trainees introducing them to working in an older adult population. Such a surreal feeling to be back where it all started 14 years ago with my undergrad.

One of my favourite frameworks for giving #feedback is the 𝗣𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹. It emphasises the two-way discussion and it teaches the importance of reflecting. Essentially, it is a partnership between the manager and team member #management #sketchnote

When I work with a leader who wants to improve the #culture of their organisation or team, the first question is always:

"What part are you playing in creating the current culture?"
