GMC is Changing and will soon be regulating two new professions. The new legislation is also the basis for reforming how doctors are regulated.

@caroll_ste87889 I am completely devastated to read this, my worst fear about the relentless and systematic bullying of PAs. I appeal to the perpetrators to stop and reflect. Where there are bullies there are victims. Your behaviour has been unacceptable. Your consciences will be burdened forever

@Statsjamiefact @nick_grundy @pa_StephenNash @Adam_Skeen @NCL_medscience According to the lecturer who taught physiology on my particular PA course, physiology comprised about 25% of the academic studies and we were tested in it. He also teaches medics and says we covered almost the same, enough for clinical decision making.

PAs are on equivalent to band 6/7 usually, but may progress to 8a as Lead PA. I know PAs who have worked at band 4. Please back your comments.

@hawkins_carole @BSIR_News @StGeorgesTrust @StgRadiology @SCoRMembers @cirsesociety @SIRspecialists As you well know, this has been taken out of context. This is justifying the need for regulation. The level of risk for other AHPs and doctors would also be deemed high. It would be helpful to post the link to the original document.

@DrJ_Haddock @TomStocks1982 @AleanKabut7 @DrAmirKhanGP And so are/were the pharmacists, social prescribers, nurse practitioners, paramedics? All there to do paperwork while GPs are looking after patients? Maybe it would be an idea for people who never worked with a PA to keep their opinions to themselves.

@Statsjamiefact @pa_StephenNash @Adam_Skeen Adam’s opinion is wholly ungeneralisable. Many if not most PA courses have a vast focus on physiology, anatomy, immunology etc. though content has previously been shown to vary prior to QA by GMC.
