I’m doing some book keeping as a diversion for the next time someone tries to talk to me about basic science. An #anaesthesia 🧵 of 🧵’s regarding some of the things I think about during my day job. (Thank you to everyone that has contributed to the discussion). 1: Alfentanil.

RT @peripheralnorad: So now, how will we address the issue that our assistants are paid more than us? Our pay erosion is so complete, that….

The dust is settling on @lengreview with mixed reactions. I think it elegantly walks a tightrope & made the one change that really matters. Changing the name back to assistant was paramount. If you want to know why 👇 .

RT @mmamas1973: Wow- this has been what we have been arguing for for the last couple of years, placing patient safety first. There is no pl….

RT @nuwandiss: .@Shr_Nottingham great interview about PAs on @IainDale’s show . Clear and objective description of the problem . Iain pleas….

RT @DrAsifQasim: It looks like @lengreview recommends @RCPhysicians and other colleges should establish Faculties for PAs. We have to ensur….

Source: . (Top notch letter btw, not for good reasons. Would highly recommend everyone reads again in the context of Prof Leng’s review . Sterling work @gmcuk ).

Just clarifying that this is the same scope that the CEO of @gmcuk wrote to @RCoANews about saying it was “rigid & restrictive”?. GMC’s barrister was as worried in court about the employment opportunities of associates as he seems to be?. Protect & promote safety much??

RT @AnaesUnited: The Leng review makes many good points, including redefining the name of PAs as assistants so as to clarify their role. Bu….

This is @UMAPsUK formal response to @lengreview . “At present we believe @TheBMA is the biggest threat to patient safety in Britain”. Is this the opinion of all associates or just a tantrum from from an appalling leader who’s made things worse at every step?

Headlines from @lengreview . 1️⃣name back to assistant . 2️⃣❌ undifferentiated pts. 3️⃣uniform. IMHO it’s a very positive step towards patient safety & not the whitewash many were expecting. Could have been stronger on national scope but hopefully @AnaesUnited case will help there!.

RT @TYoungstein: I have questions for the @RCPhysicians . 1. What are your Whistleblowing policies and where are they documented? If they d….

So @RCPhysicians are in a pickle. Suspend @parthaskar & formalise the double standards & internal agendas for all to see. Or not, but have to apologise & admit they’ve been spiteful silly children?. You make your own bed. And on the same day @lengreview proves us all 💯 correct.

RT @PhilSmithIsBack: My letter to the @RCPhysicians leadership and council regarding the recommendations against @parthaskar . Sharing for….

This is @gmcuk CEO instrumental in the associate project. “The importance of using our data to flag risk & where things might be going wrong ./. to spot things we should have spotted sooner”. How about ++surveys inc your own, PFD reports & the court cases?. This is gaslighting!.

RT @StevenMAlderson: Good riddance. @NavinaEvans has achieved nothing positive in post; she has overseen the dissolution of her organisati….

Yes there’s plenty of blame to go around everywhere. But proportionality left the reservation months and months ago. When is my government going to call this out for what it is!?

RT @DrAsifQasim: The @TheKingsFund review identified serious misconduct by senior people at the @RCPhysicians yet @OGMustafa refused to inv….

RT @parthaskar: Good morning all. I hugely appreciate all the wonderful love- and seen the multiple tweets from seniors suggesting leaving….

So @DanielSokol9 most recent scorching take is that a group of professionals value “pay, working conditions & work life balance”. Let me just find a hair shirt spikier than all Mr Sokol’s strawmen & self flagellate whilst I consider how thoroughly despicable this sounds!! . 🤔.
