@Dr_Rajiology@PMccoubrie A&E SHO here: have definitely seen significant findings on the body of the report and have been caught out previously if don’t - at least scan read - the whole thing
"The competition ratio for General Practice ST1 training posts in 2023 was 2.67:1. 10,514 applications were made for 3,935 posts."
If we want to tackle the crisis in GP numbers. We should allow the qualified doctors who want to train to be GPs, to be GPs.

My blood is boiling:
‘I’d not heard of physician associates until about 3 years ago’ (now in Resus alone)
‘We work exactly like doctors do just different training’

Credentialed Nurse Consultant...Advanced Clinical Practitioner...do AHPs just get to pick their titles now? More evidence of promoting allied roles which treads on junior doctors. I never see posts about doctors achieving mammoth exams like the FRCA / FRCS / FRCEM.
