I am a hospital consultant paediatrician. Many colleagues and I do not accept referrals from PAs unless countersigned by GPs. Unfortunately we are vilified for this and are accused of not being team players by some GPs

I was asked by a PA student to recommend a good prescribing course. I replied MBChB. Any PA's journey towards prescribing should be via a medical school. No compromises should be entertained here

We are told that a PA can do everything a GP can do by some GPs. If true,this then begs the question; Do we need GPs?

Having failed to break our NHS doctors with its lies, bullying & intimidation the Government now resorts to this. It simply won’t work because our NHS heroes have a courage & determination & a love & respect from the public which

GMC bosses are totally underestimating the strength of feeling and anger amongst doctors I think
OK. Let’s talk about respect.
6 years of gruelling academic study at med school, only to be paid £11K less than our assistants, doing TTOs and bloods while they are trained up way beyond their intended scope, just because it’s easier that way.

I agree, MAPs should be regulated by the HCPC like all other allied healthcare professionals. If the GMC is forced to regulate them, the register should be absolutely separate and the register entries should include supervising consultant/GP's name

Sorry Matt, although I support many of your views, I cannot support this as 1. I cannot bring myself to urge the GMC to be more 'thought polive like' than they already are (allegedly) and 2. I strongly believe in the freedom of speech as a fundamental human right.

The key message is not that PAs are overpaid, but doctors are woefully underpaid. In my (not so humble) opinion in the newly qualified doctors' salaries should be at least 1.6 times of PAs

Please don't tar us all with the same brush. There are gong seeking consultants and jobbing consultants
Have you noticed that it’s always consultants who are against striking. People who didn’t have £9000 a year fees, people who have a house already (and perhaps a second), and who often have tidy private practice side gigs. Plus, ignoring the evidence that strikes don’t cause harm
