@julielawtn @ollieburtonmed Maybe a grown professional should just be professional and not need to be bribed by sweeties, Julie.

@Xeon4f145d96s1 Hahaha

a pizza on twitter has done more for my profession than the RCP and BMA combined

@RupretS @psychjournlclub @ElshadKarbasi they don't need it, but it's a far superior measure of commitment to specialty, transferable skills and academic prowess than "Should obviously better option be the way we do things? And audit of the bleeding obvious"

[Indigo Sphinx @indigosphinx]

@VirtueOfNothing @InfamousGasman @bnkboi Yep - if I were giving a talk at a nursing conference I wouldn't refer to myself as "doctor" there in an effort to pretend I have a relevant PhD.

[Indigo Sphinx @indigosphinx]

@chriscraigCCC @Anongas33 yep - if you are the only one in the room with a medical degree, are you now suddenly their supervisor and have to eat the risk?

[Indigo Sphinx @indigosphinx]

@jess777j0 @theashrb Absolutely - an American system where medics are in huge debt to start with but will be earning big bucks soon after. Right now we're just in huge debt. Hope no one misses the NHS once it's gone!

[Indigo Sphinx @indigosphinx]

@jess777j0 @theashrb Excellent, yes please bring on a free market for healthcare where I can actually charge what my services are worth. Most people don't understand the cost of healthcare and they are in for a nasty shock when the NHS finally crumbles.

[Indigo Sphinx @indigosphinx]

@PrimaryCareNHS Ah, are these the doctors too dangerous for GP practice and so PAs were used instead? Those doctors?

[Indigo Sphinx @indigosphinx]

@2230Josh @DrJoFranklin @dirtybird12345 Currently voluntary. And 6 months is plenty to register
Why do they need 2 years?

Who are PAs regulated by?

[Indigo Sphinx @indigosphinx]

@2230Josh @DrJoFranklin @dirtybird12345 They have voluntary registration with the GMC and NO defined scope of practise since they first came into being 20+ years ago.

[Indigo Sphinx @indigosphinx]

@wakeyrule @medicalmodelbri @ShaunLintern @theRCN @rcn What is their job? they have no set scope

[Indigo Sphinx @indigosphinx]

@wakeyrule @medicalmodelbri @ShaunLintern @theRCN @rcn its for them to justify it transparently, not for others to "work it out"

[Indigo Sphinx @indigosphinx]

@drokane Hahahaha

GMC are chickening out of being held publically accountable.

[Indigo Sphinx @indigosphinx]

@therealistmeg21 @cablecord2 @thedailybeast Quick everyone stop being mean to that Nazi who has made life actively worse for the most vulnerable, Meg has a "feeling".

[Indigo Sphinx @indigosphinx]

@therealistmeg21 @thedailybeast Because he's a Nazi, Meg. It's the Nazism.

[Indigo Sphinx @indigosphinx]

@swombat @thedailybeast It's ok to bully Nazis. Hope that helps.

[Indigo Sphinx @indigosphinx]

@SE22mum Be kind, he jusy doesn't know what it feels like to sit an exam that actually means something

[Indigo Sphinx @indigosphinx]

@horrifiedofhh @Rosie1ea @timricketts_ Yes... this is all Corbyn's fault 😅

[Indigo Sphinx @indigosphinx]

@TomStocks1982 Can you imagine if a qualified doctor pretended to be from another specialty let alone completely obscure what their role was - they were be referred to the GMC and rightly so. Why are these cowboys allowed to run amok? Unprofessional and arrogant.

[Indigo Sphinx @indigosphinx]

@horrifiedofhh @timricketts_ By most, not all, as with all humans. Maybe they can teach the AI to prompt *there are tissues available - Y/N*
