The BMA has seen fit to make clear that their scope of practice document is a position statement and that “this guidance should not be treated as advice to members on their current interactions with MAPs in relation to issues such as supervision”. https://t.co/W31RRWBPov

Is this part of a bullying culture: Those trying 2 keep the system running in impossible circumstances r blamed 2 keep trying? Many #physicianassociates colleagues R doing amazing work #caring 4 patients in places where doctors did not want to work. @civilitysaves #compassion

most concerning is the angle of attack the BMA are taking against our PAs - their rhetoric and "MAPs safe scope of practice" completely disregards the experience and abilities of PAs... How have we in the medical community allowed this scapegoating? https://t.co/xM1uWZ1UZd

I am looking forward to sharing all of the amazing positive stories I have about our PAs here at @sashnhs at the @RCPhysicians EGM this week. I know many of you are feeling low, but please remember how awesome you are and such a valued part of our #oneteam. #Medicineisbrilliant

"Secondly, where was the voice of the large majority of perfectly reasonable doctors? The briefings from the NHS are insipid. Leading doctors give dog whistle speeches that played into the shroud-waving safety narrative." https://t.co/8donZHLEhZ

It is imperative that stakeholders and those involved in the campaign against MAPs, take onboard the findings of this study and change their approach. https://t.co/eklX0OM38t

'This sort of rhetoric that we're sitting in the background pretending to be doctors is disingenuous.' UMAPS' Stephen Nash tells @IainDale that the release of documents that 'greenlight the bullying of physician associates' creates an 'incredibly toxic environment'.

Thank you to who added the additional context to the image. We felt in design that by not filling out the colour scale on the left we clearly demonstrated that GPS train longer but PAs continue to study under them. The additional footnotes help for people who did not see this.

⛔️ Rebuttal An infographic with misinformation is currently being shared on social media. We corrected it for you 😉 🚨 MAPs, share away! #PhysicianAssociate #AnaesthesiaAssociate #MAPs #UMAPs #MedicalAssociateProfessionals #🐙

We need more Consultants to speak out in defence of team working and to counter the narrative of fear being sown by @thebma it has been my privilege to work with some very talented non doctors taking on tasks that normally fall to junior doctors, the future workforce is shaping.
