@Snapdragon_UK @SamsungUK I just need CV writing tips 🫣

@trentconsultant Any politician should compare that mockery to the AKT that a GP will have sat (https://t.co/5LJPiL9ugE). Then they should let us know which profession they'd rather their family members see.

@TomStocks1982 @wesstreeting ... practising under different regulations. If physician associates here have their own regulation, then in a tribunal where there's been an adverse outcome, a question should be asked about the PA. What would've happened if the patient saw a doctor?

[Alfie Gray @alfiegray515]

@TomStocks1982 @wesstreeting What do we mean by regulation separate from doctors? I know next to nothing but, I don't want a similar situation to certain US states where midlevels are overseen by other state boards. Patients there can get denied compensation for negligence because their "providers" were

Took an Uber home on Tuesday evening from Central London.

The person driving was a qualified GP unable to get work.

Post CCT, 100+ applications / CV drops to salaried roles around Herts & Bucks.

While Doctors are racking up thousands of pounds worth of debt, these **STUDENT** PAs are getting paid more than a CT2

Let me reiterate. In many cases, doctors 4 years out of Uni are being paid less than a PA CURRENTLY at Uni

Yes you read that correctly

Hi @wesstreeting 👋

The public will see through any attempt to take their doctors away and replace them with cheap imitations

This is becoming an election issue

Get ahead of it

@Dr_Sarah_Bellum @Xeon4f145d96s1 @iDrSunny Even as a first year med student, my mind immediately leapt to HIV, as it would've for the vast majority of my coursemates. I don't understand how they think it's a trivial thing to be using silly emojis for, assuming HIV even crossed the student PA's mind.

Today we celebrate the professionalism and dedication of all doctors working across the UK.

Share your thoughts and pictures below. #NationalDoctorsDay

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Well this is indeed breathtaking.

@RCPhysicians just released this summary of last night's #RCPEGM.

They've doubled down on their spectacularly biased representation of the results of their members' survey on PAs.

And then encouraged Fellows to vote.

@Xeon4f145d96s1 Funny how there is an option for saying you're a MAP Student but not for saying you're a Medical Student

[Alfie Gray @alfiegray515]

With the real kicker being they'll work fewer hours with less responsibility, no OOH, and more pay?

[Alfie Gray @alfiegray515]

I know that in my upcoming 5 to 6 years of medical school, I'll likely lose my family dog and my only surviving grandparent by the time I finish.

Why would I go through this just to get "the same job" as a person with a two year long masters degree? (1)

[platinumpizza™ @Xeon4f145d96s1]

Laying down the seeds to one day allow med school rejects to essentially end up with some sort of medical degree equivalence because everything they do is “working to the medical model” and “following the foundation programme”

Scrubs same as cons. Shame on East Lancashire trust.

@mongoosecat200 @MedCrisis @feelingunderap1 the world, not afford to train more physicians? The money that would be required exists in those countries. It just goes untaxed or into the pockets of the already very wealthy. (3)

[Alfie Gray @alfiegray515]

@mongoosecat200 @MedCrisis @feelingunderap1 them from studying it. That doesn't help with equality as it would be creating another class of midlevel instead of helping people become physicians. The worldwide physician shortage in most countries is political. How can the US and UK, two of the seven richest countries in (2)

[Alfie Gray @alfiegray515]

@mongoosecat200 @MedCrisis @feelingunderap1 If they want to get into the training programme for physicians, should they not go to medical school?

[Alfie Gray @alfiegray515]

@WeCareAboutMH @SarahMcQueen27 @veggieequallife If a doctor decides not to take the path that leads to being a consultant, should they get paid more than those that do want to at the same nodal points, since the future earnings argument doesn't apply to them?

[Alfie Gray @alfiegray515]

@WeCareAboutMH @SarahMcQueen27 @veggieequallife Not every doctor wants to become a consultant, and slog out many years of long hour of work, training, uprooting their lives every few years for rotational training, delaying starting a family on the way. Becoming a consultant, isn't the destination for every doctor.
