Cool so @TheBMA have called off strikes, at the last minute.
Not even discussed with the UK resident doctors committee.
Hardly any new changes to the offer that was sent out months ago.
What a waste of everyone’s time.
Vote no on this pitiful offer.
This would not have occurred if our scope of practice had been followed. Or the Leng Review.
PAs must not see undifferentiated patients. They do not have the requisite knowledge to make it safe.
@jamesmurray_ldn please follow RCGP recs and remove PAs from general practice.
"My personal pride and joy." That's how Peter Mandelson described the Palantir deal he brokered.
The whole thing stinks. Kick Palantir out of our NHS, now.
The consultation on the draft order is here: https://t.co/YR8zLD9D1l
The consultation forms are not straightforward so here is a 🧵/
The first section is just your background and demographic details.
There are then 15 questions, some with multiple parts:
@NHSuk Waiting lists are not going to come down any faster unless you hire the doctors necessary to see patients.
Stop dancing around the issue, we've all had enough.
You don't even have working computers, get the basics right first.
Also how clinically divorced are you to suggest that repeated history taking is a negative.
It can be essential to ensure that nothing has been missed, each specialist team will ask similar questions but with different thought processes.
Having IT systems fit for the 21st century is essential. Why don't you do your job rather than commenting on whether something is unnecessary as it undermines patient confidence on what can be an essential part of history taking.
The GMC is consulting on the new order to replace the medical act.
The BMA has grave concerns

It’s important for every doctor and patient to contribute 1/n
Bookmarking this for 2029.
Waiting lists are still over 6 million after your tenure as health secretary, you were still in dispute with doctors and made no progress in negotiations.
Why would constituents vote for someone who can't do their day job.
On this beautiful day of Eid, please take a moment’s thought for the melting ice caps and my phone memory being filled with blurry AI generated greetings messages from all the uncs.
And a moment for those reading this realising that they’ve become uncs.
Doctors, sign the petition today!
The medical reform needs a serious rethink. We’re calling for:
- separate registers for PAs and reduction of blurred lines
- title protection for doctors
- no increase in the GMC powers of appeal
- new powers for PSA to demand info when needed
What on earth happened to you @TheBMA@BMAResidents
I last recall the BMA being a trade union for doctors, not a group of careerists twiddling their political thumbs and posturing with nonsense statements
Lest we forget when the BMA was taken seriously
Resident Doctors call on the chair of UKRDC to announce strikes immediately.

@rodrig39386@ParaPaul78@Anisocyte@F18826973@cannula_service No. It is the exam, on top of a medical degree, foundation training, and further SHO years. One cannot just sit the exam and expect to be equivalent, without the prerequisite experience and training as a doctor and a medical degree.
We doctors often sell ourselves short
Running away mid negotiations- I wonder if he even had intentions to resolve this issue of doctors being unemployed and underpaid? Or was this job just a stepping stone to try take over the country?
EXCLUSIVE from @breeallegretti@patrickkmaguire@Geri_E_L_Scott
Wes Streeting has told allies that he is preparing to resign and trigger a leadership contest as soon as tomorrow
The health secretary confronted Starmer this morning during a meeting ahead of the King’s Speech that lasted just 16 minutes over the turmoil engulfing the Labour Party
Allies of Streeting who have spoken to him directly said that he has made clear that he is “going to go for it”. One said that he is likely to resign on Thursday and mount a formal challenge for the leadership
One Streeting ally who has spoken to him said: “He is going to go for it. He’s going tomorrow.”
Discussions have also been held to prepare for MPs to sign Streeting’s nomination papers, according to one of those with knowledge of the plans.
Another who has spoken to him said that claims by Starmer’s allies that he has “bottled it” are wide of the mark and that he made clear in private that he will make a bid for the leadership
A spokesman for Streeting said: “Wes is the Health Secretary, he is proud of his record of falling waiting lists and a recovering NHS. He is not planning to say anything following his meeting with the Prime Minister that might distract from the King’s Speech.”
