The others you mention have a 3 year bachelor's degree and work experience after Thier a level equivalent.

It's a false equivalency

To call these Jewish institutions far left anti Semitic organisations is bonkers.

@Cox_A_R https://t.co/TOFV2lDZBn

"The left has a problem with Jews" is the claim.

Anyone with thier eyes open would realise the left has a problem with the civil rights (as they are entirely occupied so it's not a war) of the Palestinian population.

[Azim @ClownAmongFools]

@Cox_A_R Why is support for Palestine equated with support for hamas, why is criticism of the isreali state equated with anti Semitism?

@UberEats @McDonaldsUK any particular reason why I waited 3 hours for a breakfast order to arrive at 12:30 cold and late. And then to be told I couldn't be offered a refund for a secret reason attached to my profile?

The above is people like me and Ben with the topic of medical use of the title "doctor" comes up.

[Azim @ClownAmongFools]

Schrödinger's pharmacists, simultaneously not enough to fill shifts, but also so many that they can be blacklisted for silly reasons and offered pathetic pay.

Hello @Weldricks rather than complain about not being able to find Locums do you think it would be a good idea to not behave like a bully when Locums try to negotiate? After all you do need pharmacists to stay open right? Should locum remove Weldricks’s from their mailing list?

[Azim @ClownAmongFools]

@Dr_Done_ I'm not a physician but this is a strange take imo.
The GDC/GpHC/GOC all regulate other staff who work under the "lead" clinican i.e. dentist/pharmacist/optometrist.
To me this would put PAs into a similar situation to pharmacy/dental techs

[Azim @ClownAmongFools]

@TohidMPharm @v1_mal Yes they are they should use public transport and not ask for travel reimbursement!

@DanClintonRN @ComPharmWaqas @PharmRJ @ComPharmEngland @AbuFeizah @IPCNetwork @SriKanaparthy @ra2alghul From my experience in community it seems most prescribers are still telling patients to take atorvastatin at night! Let alone every other day dosing!

[Azim @ClownAmongFools]

@josephbush Crabs in a barrel it's why UK pharmacy can't get anywhere. Contractors can't understand the product they are selling is pharmaceutical knowledge/service and that increasing the value of said service is in thier interest.

[Azim @ClownAmongFools]

@EtrePriv @SamTQ4T @Andrew_Jordan_ @RishiSunak The dentists made the correct decision! To reduce NHS service and go private only!

@everywallsadoor @thegradmedic @Xeon4f145d96s1 If it makes anyone in this thread feel better your not alone. Pharmacists have already had this pay narrowing completed on them, YOU have a chance to stop it. Here a specialist with multiple masters degrees, is earning comparable pay to thier support staff. Maddness!

@tony_schofield @CPharmcyEngland @TohidMPharm @the_pda @NHSEngland @locatealocum Now I think we've hit something.
If universities are still involved providing lecture based learning, seminars and laboratory skills. What exactly is so different about the "apprenticeship model"?
Im thinking we'd get somewhere defining how you see an apprenticeship in practice?

[Azim @ClownAmongFools]

@NHSEngland @TohidMPharm @the_pda I am a locum pharm who is available today.
I'm willing to travel 2 hours from my location, judging from the @locatealocum app, there are many stores still looking for a locum but unwilling to neogitiate so will close unnecessarily...

[Azim @ClownAmongFools]

@tony_schofield @CPharmcyEngland @TohidMPharm @the_pda @NHSEngland @locatealocum I'm certainly pro more real life exposure, however it cannot come at the expense of lab and lecture learning. Without the lab skills we basically become not very good Dr subs, while scientists take our industrial role. I see pharmacy as the bridge between both.

[Azim @ClownAmongFools]

@tony_schofield @CPharmcyEngland @TohidMPharm @the_pda @NHSEngland @locatealocum Well from me the protest was simply due to the fact scientific underpinning of pharmacy cannot be learnt from lectures or from experience in the community sector. Also the proposal itself didn't seem to understand what a pharmacist was in addition to its lack of transparency.

[Azim @ClownAmongFools]

@tony_schofield @TohidMPharm @CPharmcyEngland @the_pda @NHSEngland @locatealocum Are your pro apprenticeship and pro remote supervision!?

[Azim @ClownAmongFools]

@tony_schofield @the_pda @NHSEngland @TohidMPharm @locatealocum And as me and yourself have discussed previously a "shortage" that paradoxically exists at the same time as a massive increase in pharmacist registrations and a epidemic of store closures. "The maths isn't mathing".
