Could somebody please tell me how on earth I stop the BMJ coming in the post every week? The only person who enjoys them in my house is the dog when he tears them up… I just feel like the Dursleys when they nail their letterbox up as I’m bloody sick of them 😂
Maybe better pay would help…..
Great example of engaging staff in improvement “Staff are the change, and they have the ideas,” and working as an improvement advisor you “help them to get the ideas out of their heads, articulate them, and then support them to deliver results.”

@langtrygirl with doctors they all do because they all (with exception of medical directors at board level) continue to practice clinical medicine even when in local or national management/leadership roles It matters for peer credibility
A move in the right direction at long last- they get there in the end!-maybe cancer will soon be prioritised over the routine ‘long wait’ targets- that would be a real triumph long overdue…!!!

For the sake of patient safety, it's vital the role and responsibilities of physician associates are set out clearly. Our new guidance does this, and we encourage employers to adopt it immediately. bma.org.uk/the-doctor-wil… Watch @DrPhilBanfield set out why this is so vital.
"Medical associate professions have an important role and future in the NHS but only by practicing within safe parameters." Our council chair @DrPhilBanfield sets out our landmark guidance on the role and responsibilities of Medical associate professions (MAPs).

So we all agree that Physician Associates should revert back to their intended role of Physician Assistants. What do we think they should assist doctors with?
should be at the heart of any new roles in the NHS - a hurdle I don’t think some of the current job descriptions of PA roles or the reality of what they are doing addresses. In particular, I think PAs seeing undifferentiated patients in general practice without very close 5/n
