From posts on X, PA/Resident relationship seems to be embedded with idea that the latter are subordinate to the former in many hospitals. How many noctors will adjust to a reversal of that positioning, and how will it be enabled?.

Major failing of Leng report is absence of recommendation to make GMC registration mandatory from 6 months hence. Delaying until December 2026 makes a mockery of "name change to improve safety". GMC managed to register half the cohort in last 6/12.

What name is to be applied to PAs in 2 yr postgrad hospital stint? Junior PA? Trainee PA? FY PA?. Time to start calling FY/SpR/CT Drs trainee consultants in GP/hospital medicine.

Is DHSC attempting to align 2yrs as hospital PA with FY1-2? Overlapped training perhaps? Aiming to further blur differences from Drs in this guise? Advanced PAs to replace other flavours of ACP ultimately as well as MBBS?.

@pa_StephenNash perhaps you could mention this to your unregistered members.

Are "PA" folk working without GMC registration effectively now medical support assistants?.

If nothing else, a name change and reappraisal of role should force assistants to withdraw from teaching, lecturing or examining MBBS folk. They can concentrate on other assistants.

Leng said " it's not helpful to have trained healthcare professionals made redundant" in AA webinar - how will she act to make sure that threat to Drs of same this summer is evaporated??.

RT @PhilipSteart: @ExplosiveEnema2 @ponteepon I'm afraid to say I think PAs have to be furious with themselves for buying into it.

It's sad to reflect that I had my career during the 'Golden Age' of the NHS, as it seemed pretty s. t a lot of the time. But compared to present. .

Will Prof Leng consider if the change of name from assistant was justified given there was no change in training or examination rigour?.
