@parthaskar @nerdabetic @Rezaidi @ShivaniM_KC @DrSelvarajah @AbbieSBrooks @DrEveleigh @purvi_chawla @DrLKVaughan @drpatrickholmes @AmarPut One of my best mates have a tattoo on their forearm- “ unapologetically me”!
Perhaps “Unapologetically Partha”

[Sathish Parthasarathy @drsathishbab]

@ShivaniM_KC I thought you are past those days. Too late. You are considered as one of those who are in the arena!

[Sathish Parthasarathy @drsathishbab]

@ShivaniM_KC Have you posted it yet?
I just clicked on this during my leave.
😀

Saw this post in one of the forums! How fair is it?
I went through the pain like many others and fortunately survived crisis in between 2003-2007. Most didn’t.
Few got non training grade jobs etc. Ruthless game happening again!

[Sathish Parthasarathy @drsathishbab]

@parthaskar @DrEilidhMaria Agree. Ample time ( 2yrs) to do have a focussed Fellow job with QIP etc embedded within ( happening ). Gives time to adapt to a lot of things including NHS culture yet unlikely to frustrate as there will be hope at end of 2 years but with a more stronger CV. Reminding MTAS days!

@parthaskar @DrAsifQasim @UKGastroDr @RaoMala @PaedED @RowanHarwood @HilaryWMedic @COPDdoc @respirologist @Zudin_P @doctor_oxford Part 2
Getting Drs at the front door from FY1 onwards and getting them to do long term conditions clinic in secondary care will ease off the pressures and will churn Drs more confidently into career path faster than the 20 year old model of paper scribing/chasing investigations!

[Sathish Parthasarathy @drsathishbab]

@parthaskar @DrAsifQasim @UKGastroDr @RaoMala @PaedED @RowanHarwood @HilaryWMedic @COPDdoc @respirologist @Zudin_P @doctor_oxford Hear hear!!
I agree and always believed their role could bring in the much needed uplift in the work place in a well supported and a better clinically governed environment
Such as secondary care inpatient settings.
We are crying out loud for support on medical and surgical wards.

Where is this data pls?

It is no surprise- any individual @ any level without adequate supervision, support and most importantly governance around their practice are allowed to contribute-it brings Harm to patients

[Sathish Parthasarathy @drsathishbab]

@NeilThin SA post— good info around pace setters which I didn’t know but the rest is from a ideological movie—“ you too can do it!

[Sathish Parthasarathy @drsathishbab]

@parthaskar Ward environment often gives the PAs the right environment to appreciate and see the depth of medicine and nurture their training.
There is support available at all levels in a ward setting to kick off training. There is a reason why this is a ritual in any AHP training.

[Sathish Parthasarathy @drsathishbab]

@parthaskar Agreed!
They need support too in the right environment.
How about we support PAs training —
1. Supervision under the ward with Consultant and registrar ward rounds ( Daily ward round is a requirement as per RCP)
2..

[Sathish Parthasarathy @drsathishbab]

@parthaskar It’s all My personal opinion ofcourse.

[Sathish Parthasarathy @drsathishbab]

@parthaskar 4. This would address the clinical governance and supervision as ward settings have more layers of scrutiny and patient safety rather than OP settings

[Sathish Parthasarathy @drsathishbab]

@parthaskar 3. Career progression from ward settings after 3-4 years as other medical faculty does.

[Sathish Parthasarathy @drsathishbab]

@parthaskar 2. Move the FY1and FY2 onwards who have more training to do front door medicine and OP clinics ( Supervised ofcourse)
And address our huge waiting list back logs

[Sathish Parthasarathy @drsathishbab]

@DrEilidhMaria Absolutely agree! A very difficult job and skill set requires a very broad knowledge . Knowing your limitations is a skill of its own.

[Sathish Parthasarathy @drsathishbab]

@edwinhayward Dear Laura Kuenssberg,
Can we have some decency to refer people with their titles even if you are close to them when you are in your job! I know we don’t like people to feel special, but manners teach whole audience something i.e, respect each other.
New dawn, let’s be civil.

[Sathish Parthasarathy @drsathishbab]

@DrRobgalloway Totally agree!
Corporate junk on display and carefully orchestrated by scientists who know how hedonistic signals dictate. It’s beyond this simple answer- “personal responsibility “!!
tsunami yet to hit- protect the young generation . There is our moral responsibility!

@JaneNewson @parthaskar @NHSEngland @DSNforumUK @hilarynathan01 @TIME_research @KarenFAddington @WilmotEmma @NHSDiabetesProg @JosieClarkson8 @danfarrow9 @diabetes_chat @rebeccamallick Although a very good question, I think our focus needs to be to celebrate this incredible step towards treating T1DM patients with the very best tech support .
These will offset any equation you want to bring in!
Quality in Care= Quality in life.
