The @gmcuk consultation was tedious and technical. I suspect deliberately so to reduce responses. Dame Carrie mentions the responses not answering the questions posed. That’s because the GMC failed to ever ask the correct questions about their planned regulation of PAs.
A colonoscopy, is a camera test into the bowel, for both men & women Patients are offered sedation for it But when it comes to a hysteroscopy, a camera into the womb Patients are usually not offered sedation at all & I absolutely object! #SexismInMedicine

🌟NEW🌟 editorial in @bmj_latest, with @jessRmorley and @doctor_katie - yes, let's do digital transformation in the NHS. But the only way this ever gets done is if Labour runs a sustained, serious effort to repair and rebuild public trust. No shortcuts. bmj.com/content/387/bm…
***BREAKING NEWS*** Today at UK @TheBMA Council this statement of total support for GPs from the whole profession was made about the existential crisis facing us. We cannot increase costs to cover this hammer blow. @wesstreeting needs to announce right now they will cover this
We're asking @wesstreeting for a commitment to protect GP practices from the unfair and potentially devastating financial burden of increased employer NI Contributions. Read the full letter here 👇
Women have never heard of Urogynecology because first we’d have to admit why Urogynecology exists
A birth emergency may be a shoulder dystocia or a cardiac arrest or neonatal resuscitation or massive PPH, where seconds count. The first step in ANY resuscitation protocol is “Call For Help”…and yet emergency call bells (only used in such emergencies) were disconnected. WTAF?!
The rulings into the conduct of the two Cheltenham birth centre midwives who have been struck off have been published. This is what stands out aside from what has already been reported in the press.🧵 1/17

‘Regulation’ without scope of practice is a register Without regulating the knowledge, abilities, training and limitations of these, this is a failure of regulation @gmcuk previously ‘The independent regulator of Doctors’ is no longer independent nor a regulator in any sense
This week, we’ve written to healthcare system leaders across the UK to provide a further update on our progress to bring physician associates (PAs) and anaesthesia associates (AAs) into regulation. You can read the open letter in full on our website - gmc-uk.org/news/news-arch……

"This seems a very frank acknowledgement that there 𝙬𝙖𝙨 a conspiracy of silence, not some inept failing." @Colmogorman on the resignation of the Archbishop of Canterbury over his handling of an abuse scandal. @maitlis | @lewis_goodall
Whilst inequalities persist in the UK, publicly funded health systems are still the only evidence-based approach to reduce inequalities. My thoughts in JRSM: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/01…
The NHS might be struggling right now, but thank goodness no one in the UK will be asked to pay $807.96 for insulin. We must never stop fighting to keep it that way.
🚨Reminder for resident doctors🚨 Protect your patients and your licences; follow our guidance! 👇🏼 Never prescribe based on a request from, or assessment by, a MAP alone. If it’s urgent, assess the patient yourself. If not, sign post them to their supervising consultant.
All of this is unsafe and should not be permitted in the Trust Medicines Policy. I'm not even sure what the second para means - but think it could be interpreted as PAs prescribing on behalf of doctors which is illegal.
Dear @wesstreeting @DHSCgovuk @hmtreasury - I’ve had a local GP in tears this morning as they just don’t think they can keep their surgery doors open with the NI increase you’ve imposed. They can’t wait until March for any deal. Hptls are reimbursed but not NHS GP staff. Shocking
The unwritten contract the NHS has with doctors: - you will have a debt of 100,000 and rising to be able to work for me - you will be paid less than other people to do more, and to do it more competently. We will pay you so little in fact, that your debt will increase as you…
I talked with @ptsafetylearn about PA patient safety risks around scope and supervision @trishgreenhalgh @mmamas1973 @doctor_oxford @TYoungstein @DrSteveTaylor @DrNeenaJha @ExplosiveEnema pslhub.org/learn/improvin…
Well, this looks like it could get messy. Messy enough to provoke a resignation?
