@RCRadiologists Right. You need to put out a clear statement completely opposing PAs in IR, Rad, & Onco.
You need to further draw a red line in PAs requesting. You need to ensure ensure radiographers aren't turned into "reporting radiographers" without high quality standards.
@medicalmodelbri@gmcuk Her LinkedIn profile tells us she did 10 sessions a week seeing undifferentiated patients at a private practice in Northern Ireland. As a NEWLY QUALIFIED PA! Scary!
This means that PAs no longer can go on middle grade rotas, cannot run independent clinics, definitely cannot do surgery or endoscopy ( no FY1s do either), cannot lead any services or management positions and should not be on a higher than Band 6 AfC grade. Very clear now. 👇

I’m so fed up of the way this country is functioning and the way we have delivered a national de skilling of the healthcare workforce is a key part
@pa_StephenNash here talks about the PA role on @BBCNews
The shortage you speak of and talk about is one that has been falsely…
Dr Richard Marks, "How are Physician Associates coming in, who have done less training, less exams, less everything, than we have, and they're doing the same job"
BBC News's Ruth Clegg, "Are patients being put at risk?"
Dr Richard Marks, "We think they are.. Having patients…
Really interesting read - the media (whether that be MSM, agenda-controlled media outfits, or individuals on social media) completely control what we see and can alter anything to suit their own narrative 😡

A newly qualified PA scores 314 weighting points, which means band 4.
A PA with extensive time in specialty, proposing service improvements and training PA students, might eventually make it to band 6.
Safe scope and direct supervision make this not a band 7 AfC role.

Despite being told “Not for PA”, my elderly Father in Law’s GP Surgery book him with PA for a tel appt
He thinks he’s spoken to a GP as PA hasn’t introduced herself. She reduced his pain meds exacerbating his chronic pain😡
What the heck if going on in GP Surgeries in Birmingham
@BMAWestMidsRDC@uhbtrust Now the radiologists should state that they will not be doing extra contractual work until their colleagues are extended the same deal.
@pa_StephenNash Can I get some clarity on the narrative you're going with
Is it your position that PAs are incredibly valued within their teams & those who work with them think they're fantastic
Or
PAs are hated & being abused enmasse by those who they work with
So that’s 3 different solicitors that have come out targeting cases of Physician Associate negligence
They’re not pearl clutching elitists, they’re just sensible enough to see a bonanza coming
@DPMedicalLaw_@lanyonbowdler@HowellsLaw
This is your fault @NHSEngland@gmcuk
@IncogAssociate @rcgp Cool. Cut down the need for locums by employing more doctors.
PAs have no place in medicine which is why they are being phased out.
Thank you to @NHSEngland FOI team for this information on the total number of unique applicants for CT1/ST1 training this year.
26,036 doctors applied for 9,331 posts - overall competition ratio 2.79:1.
There is no shortage of doctors. We just don't want to train them.
