To all consultants who have PAs/MAPs working in your dept
If your PAs are doing the same work as your Foundation doctors, then 1 of the following must be true
1. Your PAs are working out of scope at the level of a doctor
2. You are not using your FYs appropriately

1/ The first 10 years of a doctors life is usually 25-35, a period when most people think of
- mortgaging a house
- settling down with family
- paying student loans
- thinking of career progression
Let me now mythbust why it's impossible for doctors to do the above

Countless people with previous undergrad, post-grad, and phDs do medicine.
I have not come across 1 who have found their previous degree useful enough to skip 3 years of Medicine.
It's not because medicine is 'superior', they are just DIFFERENT courses!!

I genuinely don’t understand why 5 years at uni then practicing at F1 is massively different to 3 year healthcare related degree, 2 years intensive masters and then entry level position. How is it unthinkable as being similar. Once qualified 10 years experience is 10yrs experienc

Government:
- Erode doctors pay over 15 years
- constant rotational training without stability
-training bottlenecks without job security
-pay Assistants with 2 year degrees twice as much
-no credible pay offer or negotiation
*Doctors strike*
Government:
I want to find a fair and reasonable settlement for patients, junior doctors, and the taxpayer as well as improving working conditions for all NHS staff.
But strikes put enormous pressure on the NHS and hamper conditions for negotiation in good faith ⬇️

To all those claiming we should be happy with our pay because we have 'bulletproof' job security with guaranteed pay progression.
We have neither....
When applying to medicine 7 yrs ago, never did I imagine I could be competing for a doctor's job with non-doctors...
It must be extremely frustrating for all the 3 in 4 doctors that were rejected from internal medicine training this year, watching how many non-doctors are getting employed in internal medicine and being trained, specifically because there’s not enough doctors.

Just 2 weeks into being a doctor, I have gone on strike and voted to strike further.
It doesn't feel good, but I know it's necessary, not just for me, but for the future of medicine in this country.

To all other professionals:
Is it common for someone trained to be your associate, to be paid, treated and trained better than you by your employer?
The NHS has completely let down it's junior doctors, and no consultant seems to be speaking up for them

So bizarre, a 12 week course that costs $30,000 which allows PAs to call themselves doctors of medical science.
It's not even a PhD. How is this course a doctorate?? Seems intentionally misleading..

2. I expected a gruelling job with high demand and and erratic working hours.
I did not expect to compete with non-doctors for my job and a political push to suppress my wages and diminish my job opportunities

Even after all this, there will be people ignorant enough to claim they understand my job and my situation better than me.

7. Shortness of breath
8. Hypoxic patient
As for training, I received 2 hours of teaching this month.
The 2 hours were not specifically designed for doctors. It was for nurses, ACPs and MAPs. They just delivered it to us because no one has time to train us anymore

job security, pay progression, high pay in 10 yrs
1. This year, majority of specialties had more applicants than positions.
The government is not funding more training posts for consultants despite high service demands, leading to many doctors having no fixed jobs.
1
1
55
2. The govt is poaching doctors from countries like Nigeria, India, Sudan, Pakistan, who need doctors more than the UK.
The NHS exploits International doctors with poor pay and working conditions
Yet, the govt is hypocritical enough to criticise Aus and NZ for taking UK docs

2. Middle grade doctor roles are being filled by PAs and MAPs, increasing patient safety risks, and also diminishing the jobs available for doctors, despite the need for more doctors
1

3. Any teaching students receive is normally out of the time and goodwill of 'junior' doctors, with no pay or reward in return.
So no, medicine is no longer tax payer funded. The govt is fooling both the public and students by saying this.
1

2. Doctors are one of the highest tax contributors. It takes around 15/20 yrs of pension to roughly meet the tax contribution. excludes pension contributions. Arguing that taxpayers pay doctor pensions is flawed as it implies we pay no taxes or pension contribution

tax payers pay for your education
1. only the clinical training is tax payer funded. However, there is no clear auditing or accounting from any of these trusts to show how the money is put toward training.
1

2. Truth is, this money is put toward service provision because trusts are underfunded.
It is commonplace for medical students to attend clinical placement, only to receive no teaching, no supervision and no acknowledgement.

2/ settling down
Specialty training is rotational in the NHS, meaning we could be thrown around anywhere in the region, sometimes country every 4-6 months.
So between 25-35, I cannot plan where I want to live, AT ALL, let alone looking for a house or settling with family
2

43
5/ my answer is, 20 years after I turn 35, I hope I am working for an employer who values me, in a country that values me, in a training system that values me, in a dept that values me.
The NHS of today is none of the above. I pray that changes in 10 years.

Medicine, healthcare, NHS, everything is in a downward spiral.
It's almost like there is a race to the bottom.. as if every decision being made is done with the intention to erode quality healthcare and outcomes.
We fundamentally disagree with the decision by the UK Health bodies to move the Specialised Foundation Programme into the PIA system from 2025 and will fight for students by resisting this change in any way that we can.

It's shocking that people in UK don't understand that the NHS needs to compete in an international market for doctors, a market facing a global shortage of doctors.
And to those saying Aus or NZ shouldn't poach doctors, the UK is doing exactly that from LMICs
You also scoffed at the idea that consultant doctors could strike earning £80k a year, after;
🔸5/6 yrs of medical school
🔹2 yrs as foundation docs
🔸6/8 yrs as specialty registrars
Look at what Ireland, Australia, NZ or Canada are paying their senior doctors?
2x / 3x as much.

It's evident that absolutely no one in the Govt have any idea what's happening to the NHS.
GMC: we don't set scope, we regulate
Royal college: are we setting scope?
Govt: the GMC will set scope
GMC: na, we can just regulate without scope
Govt: sounds like a plan 👌
The response of
@Keir_Starmer
to doctors’ concerns about PAs.
In short - ‘we don’t care, but the GMC will set scope’.
The GMC have explicitly said they won’t set scope.
They will keep a list on excel and earn £Millions for that strenuous task.
Where are the leaders?

Don't normally use Twitter but this came up.
1 thing is clear:
Front line workers will ALWAYS be scapegoats in systemic failures, pandemic or not. I guess the best one can expect is an applause once a week.
A healthcare professional is facing a fitness to practise investigation for delaying attending to a covid-19 positive patient because of inadequate personal protective equipment, in what may be the first case of its kind

Everyone learns different. Don't stress out watching how others study, try to figure out how you learn best.
Uni is a more independent learning environment than school, figure out what motivates you, and don't feel guilty about not doing enough work

2. First person I met was
@gabs_finn
after more than 3 years, and she gave me the biggest hug.
My first memory of her is as a workshop facilitator in my first year, and ever since then I've been in awe and admiration of her as a tutor and as a person!

Cherry picking information to suit a political agenda that is so blatantly pro-government.
A government that has seen 3 prime ministers, none of whom were democratically elected, and apparently it's the BMA that has been 'taken over'
Poor journalism

This is worrying, a 2 year PA degree is not equivalent to a medical degree.
PAs were created to supplement the work of doctors, NOT fill doctor rotas themselves, trusts and practises are irresponsibly using them to fill rota gaps.
This is bad for PAs, doctors and patients.
Here’s the faculty of Physician Assistants

(which is part of
@RCPhysicians

TL:DR:
ReGuLaTiOn will somehow turn a two year crash course into a medical degree, and it was

Important post that PAs are not the enemy.
This is a systemic issue started by underfunding the NHS, and perpetuated by the NHS and consultants, worsened by all the Royal Colleges.
I'd rather not but it can't be helped.

FWIW, PAs are not the enemy. Worth repeating. For the record, the PA role was not developed so doctors can get to clinics, theatres, meet training requirements, etc. The NHS Plan 2000 report recognised 1/

Can you please explain how you regulate without scope?
If I wanted to report a PA, what's the threshold? What's the scope out of which they can't practise?
The only scope for now is BMA guidance, based on that, almost all PAs would be reported?
Today, our Chair, Dame Carrie MacEwen, has written to all UK doctors, following the passing of new legislation that will see us become a multi-professional regulator.
Carrie sets out our next steps to consult on the rules, standards and guidance needed to implement this

We live in a world where wealthy white countries who make marginal progression are lauded as examples to the world
Alot to learn from Low and Middle income countries, but we can only learn with an open mind and humility, both of which we lack

An inspiration and a reminder as to why I began my medical journey in the first place.
A must watch for anyone, interested in global health or not.

Unfortunately, majority of trainees and junior doctors don't share your opinion, and have seen their training opportunities dwindle and workload increase.
Maybe, you utilise PAs appropriately to improve training for doctors, but that is a rarity.

👉Thoughts?? 👇
1. Is the current model of publishing/sharing science broken/ outdated or elitist?
2. Can a better system be employed to share research?
3. What is the biggest barrier to change the current model of sharing research?
