Today we celebrate the professionalism and dedication of all doctors working across the UK.

Share your thoughts and pictures below. #NationalDoctorsDay

PAs are a dependent role, dependent on a doctors supervision. What they believe their scope of practice should be is completely irrelevant- particularly given that their training level is around a second or third year medical student at best.

The BMA guidelines around scope

Consequences to incomplete revasc in LMPCI? From EXCEL, leaving a residual jeop score >4 is BAD, and most importantly, leaving >70%DS in the Cx has a 3-fold hazard of Death/MI. So for all the provisionalists, respect the Cx! Gregg W. Stone MD Mina Madan rb.gy/n80x33

Proponents of the PA role suggest their addition should increase training opportunities for doctors.

However, only 1% of IMTs and 3% of Registrars felt the role enabled training, compared to 79% of IMTs and 71% of Registrars who stated PAs limited/somewhat limited training of

The end of Strategic Thinking in PCI 2024, London. Another superb 2 days of didactic and simulator based training for trainees. A huge thanks to our stellar faculty Kalpa De Silva jcspratt Rasha Al-Lamee Elliot Smith Sundeep Singh Kalra Divaka Perera John Davies and Ian Webb

We are at the most improbable point in UK medicine, where the actual Royal College of Physicians, founded in 1518 to represent medically trained doctors, is advocating that one doesn’t need to be a physician to practice medicine.

Day 1 of the strategic thinking in PCI meeting!💪🏾Thank you Elliot Smith jcspratt Rasha Al-Lamee Sundeep Singh Kalra supporting trainees via simulator based learning. Same again tomorrow with senior trainees with Divaka Perera & John Davies joining! Thanks Medtronic UK for supporting! 👍🏾
