@TheGriftReport@drbobgill I would love to know who assessed and discharged this patient.
You can no longer assume ‘doctors’ saw this patient - a whole league of noctors now work in most emergency departments throughout the UK.
@Molly2323232323@DrSdeG@Alison6123@GPHotTopics That’s my question about, isn’t it the same? About supporting not doctor that then will impact in patient’s care bc they will use a slot meant for a doctor??
@DrSdeG@Alison6123@GPHotTopics What is your view in supporting any non doctor to become acp? They are later filling spots meant for drs ( medical rota) … how is that different to teach PAs?
@anaesthetic_spr@MedRegoncall1 F2 is DOCTOR. acp pa np aa are NOT. Incomparable difference in knowledge. Anyone can become a technician an architect can learn how to remove an appendix, but he wont know anatomy how to diagnose differentials pathophysiology what to if you find a problem during surgery etc
@mancunianmedic@bmj_latest We value professions for the professional roles they perform. It’s disrespectful, to doctors and dishonest to patients, however, to say that a doctor’s work can be done just as well by a different role and without medical training.
@docborderless Going on recent experience it won't get past the PA working in the GMC complaints 'triage' dept. The police ref you to the GMC, the GMC suggest you talk to the police...

@Dragonflynda most of us drs dont know either, and we are sure they dont even have enough knowlegde to match a 3rd year medical student. GMC has been unclear and weak, royal colleges had a voice but unheard, there must be undisclosed reason, any ideas?? Smells fishy though
@ConsUltaNT_ACP Acp np pa aa, should have a role on the admin side so doctors can do clinical work which is the safest and best care a patient can have. Maybe helping on some tasks like taking bloods could free up a lot of doctors. With the medical knowledge they have that is as far they can go
@LuddendenVWines@MedRegoncall1 Totally agree!! Tge problem though is that if you are to sick to consent a substandard care you will still get it… Drs should be protecting patients and its the consultant’s duty to allocate drs to see patients especially the sickest ones.
This is not “a vocal minority” on social media
This is over *5000* Doctors raising concerns
Intelligent, hard-working professionals who are concerned that the safety of patients is at risk
Don’t believe me? Read the report
Only the on-call Medical Registrar in charge should be leading cardiac arrests.
Student ACPs are putting patient safety at risk by leading arrests.
Emergency medicine is a screwed specialty.
