The BMA are co-opted members of the ATDG. It is extremely concerning that it appears members higher-up the AoMRC are choosing to silence members of the committee. This needs to be justified by the leadership.

For all trainee committee representatives - please share the concerns from the workforce loudly and clearly to the stakeholders that have persistently ignored and sidelined Doctors. Dr Jeanette Dickson has a lot to answer for given thr decision to exclude committee members.

The GMC Charity objects are to protect the public, by regulating Doctors. Instead, they received >£6m of taxpayers money, as restricted funds to undertake work to regulate MAPs. Will the Charity Commission investigate this thoroughly? 🤔

It is great to see Joe standing for the AoA committee. I am certain he will seek to stand up for trainees within Anaesthesia, particularly at this difficult time. Pick the right person for the job!

It is with a heavy heart to share that the amazing inspirational legend Jenny Vaughan | Just Culture for all in healthcare peacefully passed away yesterday, Easter Sunday, surrounded by family. (@matt_theknife)

All will end well no doubt

So far as an Anaesthetic trainee, there hasn’t been a single day that I’ve not been proud of the speciality I’ve chosen. This letter is stunning and I am so proud of Anaesthetists United.

Campaigners urge GMC to stop referring to AAs and PAs as ‘medical professionals’ doctors.net.uk/news/campaigne…

The GMC Charity is attempting to reinvent the meaning of the Medical Profession. That can only be those who are registered medical practitioners (I.E Doctors). The “other” profession is the Medical Associate Profession. We now need to come together to defend our profession.
