Man who died from a heart haemorrhage after being diagnosed with a panic attack had been seen by a non-medical school trained physician associate but not a doctor

Around 57% of GP appts now don’t involve a doctor. One study found this reduced patient satisfaction and increased the chance of ending up in A&E. GPs told us they are being “replaced” with hundreds sat at home without work. More in today’s paper 👇🏼
Report in the Sunday Telegraph: Senior doctors say they are silenced and dismissed by hospitals when they raise concerns. They call Freedom to Speak Up “useless” and a tool used against them. A Gov report found just 4% of employment tribunal cases win.
Aston Villa's Carabao Cup final appearance raises the question of what's more important:

I’m all for getting Malcom, but Sanchez has carried us through games. We can’t put that on a 20-year-old. What happens while we wait for him to progress? It’s always about tomorrow at Arsenal, not today

Regulations around which staff can be involved in operations are stricter for animals than humans. It’s illegal for a non-vet to have a role in animal surgery. Meanwhile physician associates are being trained in “surgical skills” 👇🏼 in today’s paper
It’s a disappointing reality but he grew up on the streets of Tocopilla in Chile & is 1 in millions to be blessed with this talent that can make him and his families life a lot easier. If he can double his wages why not. He’s not an Arsenal fan & never has been. He’s a mercenary.
"Sanchez has got to be the biggest mercenary in football. This is clearly not about going to the best team, working with Guardiola and taking his game to another level."
- Martin Keown
Video Assistant Referee would have cleared up that it wasn’t a penalty, and that it was a double touch, but unfortunately no amount of replays will change the fact we were awful. Embarrassing.
Patients and their families will have access to a second medical opinion from a critical care team 24/7 under proposals for Martha’s Rule. The patient safety commissioner has written to the health secretary with three recommendations.
Genuinely sad to see Theo go. He joined at the start of our decline & had pressure to live up to Henry from 16. Despite all the frustrations, he helped us to 3 FA Cups, a lot of beating Spurs & will go down in history as 1 of the 18 to have ever scored 100 goals for the Arsenal.
I would like to say a big thank you to everyone involved

– manager, coaches, backroom staff, and all the many people at the club that have been part of my family for the past 12 years. 1/2
No love for Sanchez from the Arsenal players on social media like. Despite what he says he clearly had a negative impact on others & the dressing room & I’m glad he’s gone even if he was a great player.
Mertesacker and Walcott’s playing careers at Arsenal are done. Leave them out the League Cup & Europa League. Put some young lads out instead who want it.

People can’t complain about Aubameyang’s age. We need someone who is in their prime and experienced. Let’s face it, the team are in of need immediate help.
Wenger doesn’t regret his comments about the West Brom game that got him charged and calls Hazard penalty ‘farcical’. Don’t hold back Arsene, may as well go for that stadium ban now.
Exclusive in tomorrow’s paper. Cost of junior doctor strikes to hit £1bn to NHS this weekend. Also the same amount the BMA claim pay restoration would have cost - free to read below 👇
We are always reactive, rather than proactive. Why didn’t we go and get someone like Lemar in the summer anyway, and be prepared for the inevitable departures of Sanchez, Walcott, even Ox.
EXCLUSIVE: DAZN's global launch is set to be delayed.
It had been pinned on Canelo v Saunders on 2 May. Canelo also set for a third fight with Gennady Golovkin in September, leaving Saunders' bout in doubt.

We had the whole summer to sort out contracts, transfers. Sanchez clearly wasn’t going to sign. We are Arsenal. Get someone in. We didn’t have Champions League. Chelsea/Leicester won league with the extra breaks. We are worse than before. There really is no excuse.
Dortmund's sporting director Michael Zorc has got his knickers in a twist calling Wenger disrespectful in a statement today. Wenger was questioned & as always, gave nothing away. “No I have nothing to add to that. This kind of thing is better when it’s secret...Nothing is close.”
I’ve thought about it: Mkhitaryan & Aubameyang, in exchange for a surplus Walcott & an out of contract Alexis Sanchez (putting destination clubs & commercials aside), will be up there with one of the best transfer moves we’ve ever made. Change is coming.

Arsenal have agreed a kit deal with adidas from next season. Worth £60m a year for 5 years. Twice as much as Puma are currently paying. Should boost the transfer kitty from the £70m a year current deals give us, starting from next summer.

It would be great to see us go and get 2/3 top players and take the initiative for once. Rather than waiting for players to leave us. And maybe that extra quality would have convinced others to stay as well.

Man United have 6 players in the last year of their contract. Young, Herrera, Mata, Fellaini, Blind, Shaw. Not their ‘stars’ but integral players! Hardly mentioned.

It has been a privilege to play a small part in helping to tell this story today which is running across the BBC and other national outlets.

Jack Wilshere’s best game since he’s been back. Tough away game and he delivers. Amazing assist and demonstrated how he’s developed the defensive side of his game.
Government is considering further clamp down on over-counter drugs like paracetamol as part of measures to reduce the more than 5,000 suicides a year - a fifth are linked to poisoning. More 👇🏼
