@wesstreeting Dear Mr Streething, I fucked off to Canada after CCT because the NHS you so proudly run imposed a hiring freeze and I couldn’t get a job. Now I’m back doing a bit of locum work and earning serious coin during the strikes. Thanks for pissing off another generation of doctors.

These dinosaur consultants don't have a clue

Wes @wesstreeting The same-day emergency care (SDEC) unit in my hospital is staffed by: 🔻2 ACPs (god knows what base profession) 🔻2 ANPs (nurses) 🔻4 physician assistants 🔻1 clinical pharmacist This means 9 doctor posts are permanently occupied by people who are allowed

Facts vs Fiction : GP Partners earnings Information shared publicly on GP income is based on Tax returns which includes all income sources not just NHS High earning GPs are the exception the median is the real income PM earnings 2023/24 just 1.5% of GPs earn the same as the PM

NHS management circle jerk in full action.

Dear resident doctors Please strike hard

@thetimes So this is a document written by two non-medical people, who’ve never undergone medical training or worked in a clinical capacity. For some reason they’ve re-invented the wheel by suggesting a speciality that already exists: Acute Medicine.

@wesstreeting For context, other NHS workers get 50% extra per hour for enforced overtime above 37.5 hours. Doctors get none of that and when this unfair discrepancy was suggested, you shot it down.

@DrNeenaJha A first year Trainee ACP ordered X-rays on me, reviewed them and discharged me. I was pushed into a waiting area on a wheelchair shaking violently. I attended a different hospital 10 days later ..... L1 compression fracture, 3 pelvic fractures and 2 posterior rib fractures.

To repeat: Flooding the system with lesser trained people - needing greater supervision- and thereby making the senior medics less efficient -contributes to lesser productivity. Anyway.

It's OK though, because if patients ask she explains she's not a doctor - and she's able to perform the role of a GP but not, apparently, capable of stepping on the toes of midwives...

@docib @LittlePersonDoc @KreedKafer @RCEMpresident @gmcuk I said at the start of this that I expected to regret commenting. I think there are very real issues here, and I think we devalue and insult our doctor trainees by using the language of equivalence carelessly. They are not in a position to and do not feel safe commenting.

Can’t believe NYC marathon won’t give me a medal for running the last mile in record time…like yeah sure, I didn’t run the other 25…so what?

They are not, and never will be, a threat to MY job. Only a threat to YOUR job. What fantastic leadership from this generation of consultants. #AskForADoctor #BeKindToThePatient

I’m shocked Govt officials have used the media to overwhelm GPs & complain to their ICBs if GPs fail to deliver It’s unacceptable that patients are used & encouraged by MPs in positions of power Patients & GPs deserve better & are at breaking point @SkyNews @wesstreeting

The Advanced Neonatal Nurse Practitioner (ANNP) concluded OVER THE PHONE that the neonate was okay, without examining them. Jax died of volvulus.

Can we please stop using “but there aren’t enough doctors” as an excuse for filling medical gaps with people with no medical training? 1. If there aren’t enough doctors the only safe response is to recruit/retain doctors. 2. Most importantly: there ARE more than enough doctors.

It's the 27th September. About 8 months since this case raised to @CareQualityComm "It's under investigation" is- I am afraid- not enough So- we ask further. A Physician Assistant did a neurosurgical procedure on an unconscious patient- supervised by a trainee-as per notes

'Consultant Practitioner in Emergency Medicine'

@medicalmodelbri @DrLKVaughan @parthaskar @ExplosiveEnema2 @LittlePersonDoc @Shr_Nottingham @DrLukeCraddock @Anisocyte Ohh this is the same job. So they are ultimately accountable to themselves only. What a theft @wesstreeting @RCRadiologists
