Had #Grenfell Tower been a luxury apartment block housing wealthy people, I'm pretty sure that the prosecution and conviction of those who enabled the disaster would have happened by now.

Quite remarkable that UK doctors are having to pressure their actual regulator - supposed arbiter of standards & probity in the medical profession - to persuade them to release the data from their <squints> public consultation on PAs. But here we are, GMC 🤷‍♀️

We invited the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges to a briefing to discuss our barrister's opinion about regulating Associates without setting national scope. They rejected our offer. So we have written again. anaesthetistsunited.com/where-are-the-…

France has a lower pension age, a higher pension, lower rent, lower house prices, a better standard of living, lower poverty, and Healthcare, Education and quality of life are all better. Also Energy is nationalised and 60% cheaper than the UK.

Hello GMC please explain why you've agreed to regulate PAs when *not one* of the 30+ training courses has been accredited? How is this safe for us patients when there is no formal appraisal of course content, teaching & assessment methods used, exit exams & competencies?

The ICB couldn't support the existing local GPs, however they have managed to find another £40/patient for a private provider to do the work instead. That is a massive uplift! Massive. Wes Streeting MP please do take a look at what is happening up and down the country.

GMC failings GMC had become unsafe for Drs from ethnic minorities with a track record of bias It has ‘leaders’ who accepted pressure to take on regulation of PAs/AAs despite being the ‘Independent Regulator of Doctors’ Now hiding data from a half hearted survey on PA/AA roles

This. Is. Utterly. Appalling. No wonder ppl in this country have such little faith in their political system! I know so many that didn’t vote - which I find shocking. They didn’t vote, not because they couldn’t be bothered but because they have absolutely no faith in the system.
