I'm just throwing it out there, but the person holding a bat is clearly a doctor. They have a lab coat on... This probably represents the beating Pas have been taking from their colleagues in the bma for a while. Whilst I have nothing to do with this image, perhaps it's time for
PAs have just posted a threatening photo of Leng, and one of them holding what looks like a baseball bat. Looks and feels ominous.

@Parody_RCGP Let me get this straight, after reading the associates have remote access to mental health services due to feeling too scared of presenting incase of victimisation, your first thought was how do we victimise them, and those that help them, further? You are a disgrace. You expose

Seems that both HR consultants and UMAPs share the concerns about the legality of the current action. Employers should think very very carefully before acting on the request. Good luck being able to prove genuine consultation with no predetermined outcome...

@valhumphreys51 @DrTweXet @PillCounterKel @HelenFlavell1 @Shr_Nottingham @UMAPsUK You are correct Valerie. It does not in fact always constitute as IA. In this case if it did it would not break the contract and would actually in fact only remove trade union protection for any action they allegedly breached their contract with. It would not, however, remove

@DrTweXet @PillCounterKel @HelenFlavell1 @Shr_Nottingham @UMAPsUK @pa_StephenNash WtR may or may not be “industrial action”. I know that isn’t helpful, but the law is confusing on this. (1) it depends on the contract; (2) if it constitutes a “withdrawal of goodwill” then it can be ind action and a breach of contract - BT plc v Ticehurst and Thompson (1992)

Can someone please explain to me how the BMA is going to mitigate the conflict of interest when it has to investigate it's own member for alleged misconduct/breach of good medical practice and represent their member against itself at the same time? Genuinely interested.

Remind me the next time someone calls it a toxic debate to show the person the stream of immature dross we have to deal with that is little more than childish bullying... A debate is two sided and has arguments of merit to be discussed. Being body shamed and name calling is an

We've always been working at that standard. When you have a 3 month time limit to get hundreds of people safe you have no idea the the pressure nor the efforts of a small number of people that's required - all you've done is seek to destroy and hurt. This registration does

Awkward... I would suggest an apology is in order...
@pa_StephenNash @iDrSunny @parthaskar @RCPhysicians @ShrillaB @Rezaidi @ShivaniM_KC @healthyopinion @ArunBaksi @PeaPeaspot @jsbamrah @DrSelvarajah @DrPhilBanfield UMAPs is a Ponzi scheme for the gullible. I can look up the electoral results of any medical Royal College or the BMA with ease. UMAPs isn’t a trades union and it has, according to Companies House, only one director. It’s a fake.

The level of targeted harassment against those of us who stand up to this bullying is beyond unacceptable. Staff members and UMAPs leaders are being hounded out of their workplaces, and those who challenge these tactics are subjected to relentless personal attacks. The
@nhs2tier This is the first I’m hearing of this accusation. I take such matters seriously and will be looking into it. However, I can state with certainty that I had personal guarantees for the company’s debt from the outset and continued to pay it off even after leaving. COVID ultimately

Funny how much effort is going into smearing an "inconsequential" trade union this week; almost as petty as when a so-called champion of justice tried to stop PAs from getting legal representation. For clarity: the "Ltd company" is just an admin body. The union is UMAPs TU, and

Good to see brave GPs like @ClareGerada speak out. I have resigned my fellowship of the RCGP- a bullying organisation doesn’t represent me
Good to see the BMA addressing the behaviour of it's officers, reps and members. I look forward to hearing the steps it's taking to remind people of how to remain civil whilst advocating for their beliefs. https://t.co/teOTFyXGyc

Amazing... apart from the threat, the obvious nuance of the fact these people have had their jobs obliterated and that there are NO PA jobs nationally, hasn't quite reached home yet. These people would grossly never have the opportunity to work as a PA again after what has
@pa_StephenNash Do you know what happens to people who challenge their employers in court? If not I suggest that you find out. Even if you win.

Recent claims regarding the financing of our legal cases are factually incorrect. The majority of Physician Associates (PAs) involved in this case approached UMAPs after the events in question, requiring us to step in and find ways to protect their rights. A significant number
Hi @pa_StephenNash 👋 Can you clarify please A PA pays membership (£240-£450/yr) to UMAPs LTD, then donates to your legal fund, & now finds out they need to pay an additional £2k to be included in the legal action with UMAPs taking 35% of any settlement Have I got that right?

😂😂😂 no... Imagine what would happen if as doctors you could have these really experienced professionals with multi professional skillsets coming to help you! ... Let's call them... associates... We could all work together to make things better for patients and doctors! And
Did @DHSCgovuk help CMAPs set up its submission portal? Where is the submission portal for doctors? I think any communications between C/UMAPs, NHSE, GMC, DHSC should be made available so we can see if there is any collusion
