Nothing to see here Nothing at all 👀

ACPs picking up SENIOR REGISTRAR shifts?! To put in context, an ST5 dr would have: ✅ Minimum 5 yrs medical degree ✅ Minimum 7 yrs of experience as a dr including 4 years specialist training Yet ACPs with NO medical degree are doing this after a 2 yr course It’s criminal!

Doctors, Next time you’re stressed, tired and want to go home at the end of your shift, and your local managers try to guilt you into helping your underfunded and understaffed services with a rota gap etc. Remember this👇🏼 They gave applause to a politician’s attack on doctors.

Next time you wait 12 hours to be seen by a doctor in A&E, remember that 14 doctors applied to treat you. Doctors are unemployed, and cannot find work, whilst patients wait longer.

@PaulaMc007 @DrHuw @RCoANews Yes Here is an example of the paperwork used AAs cannot prescribe medication, so the Anaesthetist prescribes it and then leaves the room for the AA to draw up whatever they like from the list A blank cheque Horrifying

I've said it before, I'll say it again. Doctors deserve FPR, better working conditions, better job prospects. The Government say we're greedy. You know what's greedy? Building political careers off of not investing in your health service, gaslighting staff that they aren't

Modernise and reinvest. He has "billions" to play with? How about you stop throwing money into CT scanners when you dont have the radiologists to read the scans? How about a few more obstetricians to help mothers? How about you stop using the publics lives as a negotiation tool

The destruction of Nord Stream by Ukraine: cost Germany 2 to 3% of GDP, lost 300,000 German manufacturing jobs step changed European gas prices adding 40% to your UK gas bill and 25% to your electricity bill And the entire western media in unison peddled the blatant lie that

How can someone provide “consultant geriatrician input” if they are not a consultant geriatrician? Our non-medical colleagues should ofc hold senior roles in their field. But (& it still surprises me this needs to be said), there is no place for non-doctors on a senior Dr rota.

We want to speak to this man and woman following an incident in which a woman was racially abused and assaulted at Bond Street Underground station. Got info? Text 61016 ref 413 of 12 October. More ⬇️ https://t.co/wFotJs9iC3

Wes has said he will ‘Bring back the Family Doctor’ is he planning on bringing them back from the dead Failure to listen to front line GPs like @drfariahmad will result in worse care for patients There are better ways & GPs are really clear they want better access to GPs for all

Patients desperate to see GPs. Unemployed GPs. Alternative professionals employed instead of GPs. @wesstreeting our GPs deserve more and our patients deserve better.

ACPs aren't replacing Drs… but Nurse Consultants are being placed on the Medical Consultant Rota 🙂 There is a place for Advanced Practice. It is not on the Medical Rota

Shall we pop over to Wales today. A new ACP role in the hospital at home group. Working autonomously and prescribing in people's homes. Some supervision from a consultant. Let's push people from the safety of hospitals, to their own home where a non-doctor can have a go

Prof Ball, by that logic, do you therefore agree that ACPs/ ANPs/ PAs should not be deployed on “middle-tier” rotas to cut locum expenditure spent on medical doctors?

Not here to be disappointed. Not here to be concerned. Here to replace them - and then take on Reform. https://t.co/0qbagSvIYp

Two hundred years ago, maternal mortality was about 5 per 1,000 live births in some areas of England. What changed? Modern medicine. I'd want a birth where I know my baby and I are safe, healthy, and the worst possible scenarios are accounted for. I'd want a doctor.

Billionaires cause poverty. Tax the rich.

100% agree with Professor Ball here. RN gaps can only be filled by RNs. And therefore; 🔹Doctor gaps can only be filled by doctors. 🔹Physio gaps can only be filled by physios. 🔹Paramedic gaps can only be filled by paramedics. End the blurring of professional boundaries.

This anon PA should be congratulated on saying the quiet part out loud. That though Drs are the only group qualified to practice Medicine, NHS is replacing them with medically unqualified workers, with Drs being relegated to “supervise” poor quality replacements. @wesstreeting
