My daughter had her 18th birthday with one socially distanced friend in the garden in November to keep her grandparents and others safe whilst you lot had office parties.

Dr Helen Salisbury Passing off health workers with minimum training as fully trained has been planned over a long period. A Carers meeting at Age Uk in Abingdon in 2020 was told by an Oxfordshire NHS Trust senior manager that in 5 years we would not see a GP when we contacted our surgery.

Steve Taylor I just got the bit where some GP says supervision is easy, just treat PAs just as you would a GP specialist trainee - really? And no one in the GMC pipes up.

The GMC seem to be saying it's OK to find a workaround for rules that were put in place for patient safety - eg limiting the number of anaesthetic associates who can be supervised at the same time by one qualified anaesthetist. Very disturbing.
What is the GMC for now? See 🧵

If the GMC is no longer concerned with ensuring that people working as doctors, performing surgery / anaesthesia are appropriately qualified and supervised…

…then the UK currently lacks such an organisation. And the last time that was the case was 1848.

166 years ago 🤯

The future NHS is already here & it’s pretty damn terrifying

**A GP surgery in England with NO doctors**

HOW have we got to this point so quickly?!

Thousands of GPs are currently unemployed. Yet we have entire surgeries without a single GP?!

RCGP leaders - WHERE ARE YOU?!

It is crystal clear that the GMC have been aware of, and have no issue with, trusts utilising 'grey areas' to do whatever they like with scope when it comes to PAs

They even promote it

Absolutely damning

Bookmark this video, it'll feature in the inquiry

On the one hand, sacking all the people who used to check copy for typos has saved newspaper owners a lot of money. On the other hand there is the last line of this obituary in today’s The Times and The Sunday Times.

…and there it is

This was the underlying goal all along right?

GMC are planning for PAs to do a shortened course to become doctors?!

I’m horrified! There’s a reason medical school has such competitive entry & long standardised training

We’re witnessing the next Post Office

Remember Prof Colin R Melville denied PAs would be able to switch to medicine?



The GMC have since been briefing PAs on a shortened course to allow them to become Drs!

Why are Drs told it's not happening, while the GMC are actively promoting the idea to PAs?

So Justice Alito's version of events DOES NOT HOLD UP. ⤵️

'A text message and the police call — corroborated by Fairfax County authorities — indicate, however, that the name-calling took place on Feb. 15, weeks after the inverted flag was taken down' 1/

Why is the BBC Political Editor (Chris Mason) giving Farage a boost by attending his “Press Conference” in Dover?

Farage has run away from standing in the election. So he should be ignored as the irrelevance he personally is. Talk to Reform candidates - fine. Farage - no.

Did you know that Gen Z don't need affordable housing or clean water or a functioning health system or decent job prospects or a planet that's not stewing in its own juices?

No. What they need to make their Tory-blighted lives fulfilled is National Service.
