Just wanted to say, I was on a plane at the weekend and I can confirm that the staff flying the plane were in fact pilots and the staff not flying the plane were cabin crew. I did not see any members of the cabin crew take over from the pilots at any point. That is all.

It's not "elitist" to have standards. It's not "elitist" to only allow pilots to fly planes. It's not "elitist" to insist that engineers design bridges. It's not "elitist" to mandate that lawyers pass the bar. It's not "elitist" to insist that lifeguards are certified.

Jim you half-arsed the job. Scope of practice, regulation and governance should have been in place well before any boots hit the ground. But you and your cronies were too busy chasing personal glory to do a proper job. You are (partially) to blame for this.

@doctor_oxford @NHSEngland Well I am a huge advocate for PAs and was one of those who wrote the original guidance, ran one of the largest programs, and chaired the national exam. But if these posters are true, I am equally horrified!!!

Agree. @gmcuk is a malignant organisation with regard to the health of the nation. And you know what we do to malignant lesions? Cut them out.

The @gmcuk is a threat to patient safety. It is beyond reform and must be destroyed.

@RCPhysicians @HilaryWMedic "The past six months have been highly damaging for the college" No. What's been damaging is allowing morally bankrupt, academically shady, financially motivated gong chasers to usurp the institution and promote quackery for personal gain. The past 6 months are the consequences.

It's not "elitist" to require chefs to follow food safety standards. It's not "elitist" to expect electricians to be certified. It's not "elitist" to ensure architects are qualified to design safe buildings. It's not "elitist" to expect mechanics to be trained and certified.

@ExplosiveEnema2 @gmcuk @drcolinm @AlisonGeorge10 @DrAsifQasim @DrLKVaughan @DrSteveTaylor @iDrSunny @UKGastroDr @parthaskar @AliJaneMoore @Doc_IonaCollins @RoshanaMN @gmcuk has a funny old selection process of what they respond to on X. I wonder if this will count as a topic important enough for them to comment on. If they choose not to, they can just give up being a regulator for Drs today.

@Xeon4f145d96s1 "Surgical Physician Associate" needs to be retracted. Don't know the source of this bio, but someone should kindly let them know and let @RCPhysicians know too.

@anarchomed Not sure about the reviews being done without supervision but definitely a step in the right direction RE the new patients

@IncogAssociate @cmwilliams99 @EduMed_UK Rapidly expanding is exaggeration? 20 years ago: 30 PAs 10 years ago: 300 PAs Now: 3000 PAs This expansion is not just rapid, it's exponential. I know you struggle with advanced concepts Incog but for those that don't - this is not safe. Not in the slightest.

@Jo_McGinn @UMAPsUK @BMA_James_Steen Exactly this lol. @TheBMA update says this is not the scope of supervision doc, which will be coming out soon separately. Rather, this is the RECOMMENDED SCOPE OF MAP PRACTICE doc. Love it!

@gmcuk Why is this in contradiction to what has been said before where Dr Z was held responsible for not repeating the work of a PA? You can't gaslight us

Remember doctors, they’re ‘competent’ at nothing - you cannot assume! If a patient dies and you relied on their assessment, the GMC will not be understanding.

@kingkon83115966 @JimBethell @TheBMA @gmcuk At least I have an understanding of anatomy, physiology and pathology that constitutes medical training. PAs don't.

@IncogAssociate Delusional. It has always been that the GMC is not the right place for regulation and rather it should be the HCPC. But that doesn't fit your little narrative does it?

🚨🚨🚨Homeopathy, English Lit, Anthropology, Banking, Geography, Zoology ➡️ 2 year course ➡️ "GMC registered medical model professional"🚨🚨🚨 These are NOT substitutes for medical school and a PA can NEVER be a substitute for a doctor.

@GMCharlatan "5+ years: Considered for partnership" wut... That's like considering an FY2 for partnership (in terms of years of training, obviously still NOTADOCTOR) LMFAO, I want some of whatever these guys have been smoking because clearly it's a helluva trip 😂

What a mess... @RCPhysicians to blame for inappropriately housing PAs within their college in the first place and failing to set proper scope. People crying about the BMA 'not consulting with stakeholders' are quiet about RCPs lack of respect for other colleges and specialties.
