@BeckyHall016 @Melissa_S_Ryan @jamesmurray_ldn You have tried to minimise the training a GP has by tagging on "newly qualified". They have at minimum 5 years of medical school, 2yrs foundation training, and 3 years GP training

It is absolutely reasonable to assume they are more qualified than a PA

Notice how virtually none of these are specific, measurable actions.

If I put in my personal development plan "deliver safe and effective triage" I'd be slated for writing such a vague and meaningless goal.

[Parody RCGP @Parody_RCGP]

Some avoid engaging and hide. Others don’t.

We need more of the latter if we are going to start to actually improve patient safety. Otherwise it will be more Dave’s rule, hashtags and knighthoods for the families to gaslight.

There are also hundreds of thousands of men who would love to be Dad's but can't. Having a child might also never happen again in your life.

The Dad is not useless at the birth. What an abhorrent quote and attitude towards life this woman has. Go and meet your child, Jérémy ♥️

Hahahahaha

Sky News getting rattled by a bin.

[Jonathan @jabberwock951]

@LBC This is literally the exact opposite of what multiple reviews have shown.

At this point it has to be deliberate lying.

[Emma Runswick 🏳️‍🌈 @ERunswickBMA]

@Anisocyte @TheBMA Police investigation is already underway and professional reviews also.

The BMA is not prepared to put patients who require urgent, emergency and critical care at risk of death or serious morbidity.

[BMA Consultants @BMA_Consultants]

The role of the consultant is becoming ever more demanding. We need to show the Government that we are united in wanting a better deal.

Vote YES and make your voice heard.

[James Steen @BMA_James_Steen]

All the time they’re paying physicians’ assistants more than doctors, the government’s position of “there’s no more money for doctors” is utterly untenable.

Updated disparities, as at 1 April 2026👇🏼

@doctorsforjobs @TheBMA This is so embarrassing for you.

The poor offer put to members in Dec 25 was rejected by 83% of those who voted despite the vote being over only 5 days.

[Tom Daubeney @Tom_Daubs]

@doctorsforjobs @Frank9478968518 @SandipP61970438 They did put a deal to us, we rejected it.

[Sai Ishaya @Sai_Ishaya_]

When I first looked into the UK debate on a national prostate cancer screening programme, especially with the advent of gamechangers like mpMRI, had to ask, does any Western country actually do mass screening?
It turns out Lithuania does & it’s the ultimate cautionary tale.

It was launced in 06 with routine PSA blood tests for men aged 50–74 & if the PSA was elevated it triggered a direct referral for a TRUS biopsy.

Within a year, prostate Ca incidence rates skyrocketed to the highest in the world (peaking at over 182/100,000) with mostly indolent cancers being found that would've never caused symptoms or affected their lives. —Overdiagnosis.

With it they also recorded massive rates of unnecessary radical prostatectomies leaving healthy men with lifelong incontinence & erectile dysfunction (as high as 50% in some areas)—Overtreatment.

It is like a living example of everything the NSC is worried about could happen if the UK blindly deploys a programme and fails to follow available evidence.

They are not shutting the door on prostate cancer screening, for now, the committee has taken a cautious but responsible position, pledging to review new evidence as it becomes available & to revisit its recommendations when the science supports doing so.

[Parody RCGP @Parody_RCGP]

They are paying £30/appointment for this.

£30 per appointment!

Can some journalists actually do their job and not just regurgitate government spin!

Sick certificate via social prescriber £30
Simple Ear inf mx by pharmacists £15
GP for the complex stuff 34 pence.

[Parody RCGP @Parody_RCGP]

This is the boss at Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals where they said

"...its PAs saw approximately 44% more patients over a comparable period than its resident doctors..full compliance would decimate the rota, directly impact patient care and safety"

Don't try pitting us against other workers. We aren't your convenient argument. We support each other in the trade union movement.

The RMT dispute isn't even about pay, its about hours and fatigue.
