After all everyoneās first EVD is their first EVD? Or do patients deserve some baseline competence before we start penetrating their skull?

UK doctors are facing unemployment on an unprecedented scale while patients are unable to see a doctor. The government is producing more PAs who are convinced theyāve studied 5 years of content in 2, despite the vast majority being rejected from med school. Welcome to the NHS.

In my time in medicine I have never seen qualified doctors be replaced and undermined by lesser trained individuals, at the expense of patient safety. Itās simply embarrassing.
@rcgp @KamilaRCGP In my whole time in medicine I have never seen a group of people demonised quite like PAās have been. Itās simply embarrassing. The healthcare landscape is broad & talented people in that landscape have come via different paths. Embrace their talents & energiesā¦

@nicalexander1 @Dr_Done_ @ImperialNHS Itās precisely a competition and there certainly isnāt enough room for everyone to be trained. This has been made worse by ladder pullers like yourselves who are in search of the moral high ground. If you canāt standup for your trainees then donāt interrupt those that will.

This is not about individuals. His role is directly impacting the quality of training doctors receive and safety patients experience. Objectively calling out factors which perpetuate a broken system is not a āvicious attackā
@Dr_Done_ @ImperialNHS Cannot sit back & watch this vicious attack - Berkay is a valued colleague within our team. Yes, the country should be training&retaining more doctors and yes, we doctors should be protecting our roles, but the fight is not with the individuals who work hard in our broken system

There have been many worrying issues raised regarding the treatment of our most vulnerable patients. They may have coincidently skipped your field of vision as they donāt suit your corrupt, politically driven agenda to dismantle the NHS.
There are some worrying and upsetting issues raised in this article about the treatment of NHS staff at work and online. There is no place for this behaviour - all NHS staff should be able to do their jobs without fear of threats or abuse.

If every other country is prioritising local graduates then so should we. Anything else puts UK graduates at a disadvantage. This is not discriminatory or short sighted, itās common sense which is not so common.
Short sighted policy to address justified concerns about training places & jobs. IMGs are a vital part of NHS with years spent working. UK citizens training abroad could come under this. Importantly, this isnāt BMA policy. Itās policy of a branch. DOI: BMA UK council member.

@alisonleary1 *Associate nursing practitioner. You are however casting a judgment on the lack of qualification these individuals hold which is whatās interpreted as shaming in this ādebateā. By stating this viewpoint youāre insinuating there is no need for the role. See the similarities?

@CLawthom @Roddy_Neilson Under resourcing of medicine is not a completely separate issue. Itās directly related with the inefficient allocation of funds such as ARRS. PAs are very much the sign of a system looking for cheap shortcuts whilst reducing funding.

The arrogance and complete lack of accountability from these ladder pulling consultants will always be remembered. You are complicit in every crime youāve endorsed.

Proof that any consultant who enabled this circus only did so to benefit their careers with 0 understanding of the medicolegal repercussions. @RCHTWeCare

@t0uchgrasss @YugShankar @JonnyBlackwell @GMCharlatan @Cray_tweets1 @pandamonidad @Shamz_141 @IBDUKTEAM Itās certainly a *lose lose if you canāt even spell the word. Itās not bullying to highlight the academic deficiencies which you exemplify with every tweet.
