DAUK GP spokesperson Dr Steve Taylor warns the course is ‘trying to squeeze a medical degree into two years’. And when compared with GP training – a three-year programme which follows a five-year medical degree and two years as a foundation doctor – there is ‘just no comparison’.

Dr Rachel Clarke Escoffier’s love child 🦀 (🗑️ 🔥) Yes and he was also the chief source of filibustering at EGM. I feel he must also step down

I think it's now time for the president to do the honourable thing, she has lost the support of her executive group and the wider Royal College of Physicians membership. Sarah has contributed to Cardiology greatly, has been a role model to many women in Cardiology. I hope that she doesn't

Askforadoctor GMC They are indeed distinct professions.

Quite the contradiction…

• PAs can work on doctors’ rotas & doctors’ roles, despite the fact they’re distinct professions (& obvious risk to patient safety).

Lots of chat about the RCP Council. Does the current construction serve the membership well??

Well, as with any political system, it depends on what problem you are trying to solve.

Firstly, a bit of history (cos I ❤️ History!). 🧵

I think this is the first time in the 500+-yr history of Royal College of Physicians of London that most senior officers are asking the President to resign and President is saying “I’m not going”. This scandal is about PATIENT SAFETY. Governance structures have been infiltrated.

Tbh I am done with this attitude.

This constant gaslighting that students & HCPs should sacrifice their livelihood & time, for free, again & again, to bail out political omnishambles.

When was the last time you worked for free? Should we all? Where does it end? Isn't communism.

Impact.

It’s time for change

Good to see senior leadership Royal College of Physicians making their call

We need a fresh start.

I am supporting Anaesthetists United who are commencing a legal case against the GMC over their regulation of Physician Associates. Please support their crowdjustice fund if you can🙏

THIS IS ABOUT PATIENT SAFETY

Can Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children explain why they pay a physician associate with no paediatric experience the same as a Paediatric Surgeon Senior Clinical Fellow with FRCS?

Ginny H Ball🇬🇧 people who already have children can fall on hard times

and even if the parents were already poor when they had them it is not the childrens' fault

Michael wasn’t just a rock solid friend, he was an incredibly generous human to everyone he worked with. He basically invented a genre of science broadcasting: experimenting on himself, talking about his medical problems, being a curious human being not an ivory tower expert. 🧵

🚨THIS IS IMPORTANT

PLEASE WATCH THIS SHOCKING FILM & support Anaesthetists United crowdjustice fund if you can. They are commencing a legal case against the GMC over their regulation of Physician Associates.
