mention of PAs on . @BBCRadio4 "Physician Associates perform the same tasks as a doctor without the same training". No nuance. No mention of patient safety. This sums it up, doesn't it?

I am a GP and have been seeing patients throughout this pandemic. I have had all three doses of the vaccine because they are effective, safe, and this will protect me and others against severe illness and death.

GP isn't ending. Please don't panic. This is scaremongering. However, GP is changing very significantly and it may not be to everyone's liking.

Mental health problems such as anxiety, stress and depression are now the commonest causes of absence from work for NHS staff. Addressing this requires tackling the root causes; and not just sending staff on resilience and wellbeing courses.
