@StevenMAlderson The thing is it won’t be their jobs.
They got the substantive posts.
It’s the new generations of Drs who can’t get training posts or consultant positions.
They messed it up for those coming behind.

In many Emergency Departments:
Undifferentiated patients walk in
ACP/ANP/PA assesses, investigates, treats, and send them home without consulting any doctor.
This is exactly what a doctor does in medical practice.
This is the same as saying a student has been in school for 10 years by the age of 16, so they should now be the teacher
Because somehow they picked up everything by osmosis

‘I love the practical aspects of my job; I am undertaking procedures that were once only performed by radiologists .

‘The EP is authorised to discharge patients within his /her remit without reference to any medical clinician.’
Look at the person specification. A nurse , paramedic or physio working independently as a doctor @RCEMvp_Salwa
@ProfRobHoward@medicalmodelbri@rcpsych 5/ Pretending that undertrained substitutes can “fill the gap” is not innovation. It is erosion of standards, of safety, of trust.
It is also no surprise that the UK is the second most sought after place after the US for medical graduates to emigrate to. With the US looking like a potentially closing door, it’s never been more important to implement UKGP before the intake now doubles overnight…
There is nothing stopping doctors applying to be ACPs.
Better pay.
Better training.
Security of workplace.
And all for less responsibility or risk that a doctor holds.
We should all be flooding these posts with applications.

I actually cannot believe there are colleagues out there who so entirely misunderstand the role of a doctor (and in particular PICU registrars) that they feel sufficiently confident to post absolute codswallop like this online
If a bus arrives at a stop already full & there is a queue of people what should the driver do ? To me it seems like the answer in GP land is to create more queues & ask the driver to open the door. And if that doesn’t work it’s the driver at fault?
Misunderstood? @wesstreeting
