@bmj_latest Thank god for this; but also kinda depressing. Makes you wonder about care for patients who don’t have people to advocate for them

@rustybrick Thanks for sharing this.

[Barry Schwartz @rustybrick]

Whoa - Google AI answers are claiming @drhopesicknotes was suspended as a Doctor and it completely made it all up https://t.co/kXFxdFvhAS

[Ed Hope @DrHopeSickNotes]

@StewChicken42 Ha! Thanks (I think!) :)

[Ed Hope @DrHopeSickNotes]

@DrEilidhMaria I usually go with ‘thank you for your patience’.

Either way it’s soul destroying being associated with what’s going on in the waiting room.

The wider public don’t know +/- don’t care until it’s them or their family.

[Ed Hope @DrHopeSickNotes]

@ArunBaksi Dude you should try serving your fellow doctors a bit too

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Well said, @TYoungstein. Those of us with safety concerns around the role of PAs - now, finally, corroborated by Leng - were smeared as an irrational, toxic rabble. I think Chris Whitty owes doctors an apology. As do @RCPhysicians, @JimBethell et al.

[Dr Sandeep Bansal @iDrSunny]

I fundamentally believe we now need a national inquiry into how the PA project got to the stage it did where it caused so much harm

We need to hold the likes of @Jeremy_Hunt @AmandaPritchard @NavinaEvans @DacreJane @profjimspeaks @pa_StephenNash @ClareGerada @RCPhysicians et al accountable and they should be apologising to those whose families have suffered harm and to residents for ruining their careers

@dieracg @ispy62872081 @haemopoiesis @AoAA_uk Wild how we got here.

[Neena Jha @DrNeenaJha]

As an NHS doctor I resent this deeply

Why are my mandatory GMC fees being used to pay for private health care for GMC employees?!

I don’t even have private healthcare myself!

**£642,000 spent on 1066 staff** ‼️

I do NOT give consent for my fees to be used in this way! 🤬

[Ed Hope @DrHopeSickNotes]

@DrEilidhMaria ‘Even doctors misdiagnose’ … that is not an argument for less qualified roles in healthcare!

[Ed Hope @DrHopeSickNotes]

@mattster @UMAPsUK @pa_StephenNash “biomedical or healthcare-related degree”… Degrees in homoeopathy, computer science, English literature and human resources are being accepted as entry qualifications to train to become a physician associate, the Daily Telegraph can reveal.

[Ed Hope @DrHopeSickNotes]

@thatsnotmine125 @Dr_Done_ Well Amen. 🙏 Back on your heads

[Neena Jha @DrNeenaJha]

Just wanted to give a massive 👏 to the FY2 doctor on @LBC with Wes Streeting today:

Dr: “Why are PAs (who are meant to be dr’s assistants) paid more than me as a doctor?”

Wes: “Well, what’s your earning potential?”

Dr: “Well I’m facing unemployment from August”

Slam dunk.

[Ed Hope @DrHopeSickNotes]

@GMCharlatan PAs may well ‘seem’ like that. I think we are bored of mentioning the Dunning-Kruger.

How can any course with lower entry requirements and shorter length lead to more knowledge?!

I was a teaching fellow & examined mock OSCEs with both groups - the difference was night & day

[ClinOncDoc @ClinOncDoc]

‘The PAs told the undercover reporter they saw all sorts of patients, sometimes without any clinical supervision. They said the practice treated them as equivalent to GPs.’

Tell me again how PAs are safe medical practitioners
