Good to speak at @BAPIOUK on IMGs - appreciate the invitation from @indranilc We must support resident and locally employed doctors - especially against racism and xenophobia @gmcuk are reducing PLAB slots by 50% but underlying issues of too few training posts and too few GPs

Less of the Samey, vote Ramey! @ramey999

‘ The findings that sat most uncomfortably with me was the concerns of families who lost loved ones and without any doubt would have made different choices had they known that they were seeing a PA and not a Dr. If nothing else motivates us to act surely it has to be that ‘

Their assessment is debated and rightly so. I don’t know why ACPs don’t do something like the MRCEM. Whether we like it or not, assessment drives learning, and having to learn that stuff really does help. This is one question I would ask RCEM. It seems a perfectly reasonable ask.

After the tragic death of her daughter, Jessica, Andrea Brady campaigned for a rule encouraging GPs to rethink patient concerns after three appointments. We listened. Here's how @wesstreeting introduced Jess’s Rule to protect patients and catch serious illnesses sooner.

Hence why if you look at the curriculum for credentialing the “entrustment levels” are SHO objectives, regardless of supervision tiers etc

@Dr_Done_ This is not an isolated incident. Several Trusts have replaced medical consultants with cheaper non-medical ones. Patients are not always aware that their “consultant” is actually an OT for example who can’t prescribe but is instructing their residents/GP re complex med changes.
