Not quite the way I expected to ‘celebrate’ being a consultant for 30 yrs at WSH. however I’ll just have to think about the fantastic anaesthetic/intensive care colleagues I have worked and still work with. Guys and girls you’ve made it a complete gas

You are so right Jeannie. We need the release of the regulation consultation now. Come on Matt I’m a senior consultant at your local award winning hospital and we need PA PAA, ACCP and SCP to work to their real potential. We are struggling

The college training committee are on the frontline with them. The trainees will not be disadvantaged if we have anything to do with it rest assured

Important to see senior anaesthetists and intensivists supporting the PAAs and ACCPs. I’m representing the RCoA at Leeds and Birmingham meetings. We need all the 4 MAP professions working at full potential to help deliver safe and effective patient care

Lets hope UK PA and the other 3 MAP groups soon get statutory regulation to allow profession to develop further and enhance patient care

Interesting article in BMJ of the 22nd sept pages 350-2 regarding the medical associate professions. Supportive piece. Worth a read and wouldn’t it be nice for the government to release MAP consultation during their party conference. Enough of Brexit. There are other topics

Not unreasonable to consider this may apply to other malignancies. TIVA also kinder to the planet than the blue gases
