A new term used in defense of this process is 'anti-recovery activists' which is the most bizarre interpretation of 'people trying to educate so health professionals don't harm their patients'.

It's about time this exploitative program is called out

Blood Scandal Factcheck - As media collude in blaming medics and civil servants, the role of the Labour Party in starting it and hiding it talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2024/05/21/blo…

According to ridiculous NHS rules Psychiatrists with 13 years of training can’t diagnose ADHD.

But anyone who does a 4 week (120 hour) course and reads through a tick sheet can.

They charge £500 an hour, instead of the £35 it would cost the NHS.

It’s a scam.

Rae an oncologist CONSULTANT suggested my friend might benefit from therapy BECAUSE she was wearing a mask in the treatment room.

this friend is the person who travelled down to London to sit with me when I had bowel cancer and DOUBLE pneumonia, thinking I might die.

Just found 2 different PAs who have been suspended from the PA Register have private companies to work through

One is now dissolved while the other appears active

NHS England Workforce, Training and Education this is the wild west

Pause and reassess

Some refreshing news coming out of East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust. (H/T r/DoctorsUK)

It is not for JDs to pick up the slack (alongside all their other responsibilities) to teach PAs. This would be inappropriate anyway as doctors have not studied the medical model.

GMC repeatedly state ‘we will not look at scope of #physicianassociate as we don’t look at scope of doctors post qualification’

Here’s …the neurology curriculum I WROTE in 2010,still on GMC website

Do I need to report GMC to GMC over its probity?🤷‍♂️

PA double speak :
Jack of all trades master of none ➡️ the glue that holds the MDT together

Helps the GP with simple cases so that they can see the most complex cases ➡️running a frailty clinic WITH the most complex patients polypharmacy etc but can’t prescribe

As the scope creep slithering snake movement makes its way across vast areas of industrialized nations attempting to 'privatize & profitize' their healthcare systems, there are some important points to ponder and remain mindful of...

‘Decades of deflection.
Decades of denial.
Decades of deceit.’

The Infected Blood Scandal Report should anger us all.

Its recommendations must be acted upon, not least the urgent issuing of compensation.

Justice delayed would be justice denied.

The culturally colonised will never recognise their own colonised status.

Another one to leave right here for #MedTwitter .

If you downskill the workforce - you increase delays, you increase activity and you make outcomes worse.

NEW: Senior Conservative MP Robert Jenrick has registered a £5,000 donation from a company that appears to be inactive – in what could constitute a breach of electoral rules.

Jenrick's team says it was an 'administrative error' and the money came from elsewhere... Byline Times

I sincerely want an epidemiologist to discuss the deficiencies in this analysis.

From a bioinformatics standpoint, there are plenty of angles to “yes, and” these correlations.

So, please.

For fucks’ sake.

Yes, and, this.

James Titcombe The cover ups are awful, as by then everyone involved know there has been harm caused to people. But right now we’re seeing thousands of doctors screaming about the PA project and patient safety, and we are being ignored, so if we can’t effectively raise concerns who can?

Thames Water's largest investor has valued its stake at ZERO

It's important that Thames Water goes bust, that it does not raise bills, and that it gets no money from Government

As soon as it stops operating its entire ownership reverts to the Government, without needing a penny

Wes Streeting's comments about the devolved NHS are undoubtedly a disaster for Anas Sarwar. They undermine his whole attack strategy against the SNP. We confidently predict the moment an SNP MP/MSP raises them in a BBC Scotland interview they'll be interrupted and spoken over.

If I was still drinking alcohol - the CDC would drive me to drink.

It IS a personal failing. THEIR personal failing.

They've got one job, and ain't doing it.

It is public health, not private wealth and a nifty ad campaign.
