What you've done is lose patients 20.8 million appointments per year where they will now fail to have their cancers and illnesses diagnosed in a time frame that allows them to receive beneficial care. The decision to adopt this wholesale, rather than consult, to placate a radical

Today, the UMAPs NEC reluctantly announced a step no one should ever have to take: Action has began against organisations whose policies have harmed MAPs, leading to 200 redundancies disproportionately affecting female and BAME PAs. This isn’t just about MAP redundancies—it’s

The scope of practice guidance from the RCGP did not target BAME and female PAs, as claimed by Mr. Nash. It was a scope of practice document for “all PAs working in UK general practice.” rcgp.org.uk/representing-y….

An organised attempt to silence me after months of being attacked by the same group just fell flat on its face. In a remarkable act of self harm George decided to misquote me and that if I disagreed he inferred he was going to expose receipts. I pointed out this could look like

I know your ego is the single most important thing in your vicinity but to redress the point she's making to be about MDT supervision instead of unsafe staffing, really shows the mental gymnastics you are deploying in order to re-run the stigmatise, dehumanise, isolate,

Honestly cant thank the doctors reaching out to me through DMs enough for the support. One day we will be able to talk openly again without fear of DoctorsVote targeting you or me. #tobettertimes

pulsetoday.co.uk/news/regulatio… I thank the GMC and Chair for clarifying this very important part of the debate. I have been smeared for the best part of a year for maintaining the truth about how scopes of practice are formed - yet here we are. Maybe those delighting in the

Physician associates will need 'individual' scopes of practice, says GMC chair
Exclusive: The GMC will not take into account other bodies' scopes of practice for physician associates (PAs) when regulation begins.

I see the smear campaign is out in full force today. I have never seen such a vitriolic reaction to the truth in all my life. If ever anyone needed evidence on whether there is an organised disinformation campaign on twitter trying to misinform the public and doctors, they've got

Mr. Nash, CEO of UMAPs, is contradicting himself. Last night on Channel 4 News, he accused NHS employers of pushing PAs into unsafe practice, despite previously stating that PAs are working at the level of senior doctors (middle grade). youtu.be/-kL0aoS1cvI?si… x.com/medicalmodelbr…

Once again the med reg strikes with his level of libellous propaganda. Jamie doesn't even work as a PA anymore. Thank you for outing yet another story that didn't happen. Now we know we don't need to worry about investigating seriously. Do twitter a favour and delete your

Hi @GSTTnhs, Your PA dude is intimidating Doctors during oncology/haemophilia induction. It turns out this is the notorious Jamie Lanyard, who used a haematology lanyard to impersonate a doctor. You must be proud of him.

This is embarrassingly poor attempt at scaring the public. Near zero a&p? They have both degree and level 7 anatomy and physiology knowledge and modules. They also have done the same chest drain courses that other medics carry out and have been found to meet the same standard.

This superficial Level 7 course in anatomy and physiology cannot be compared to at least 3 semesters of intensive anatomy and physiology training in medical school. trainingexpress.org.uk/course/advance….

There is a palpable irony that you are asking me for help with your trade union dispute after the annihilation of my colleagues your doctors vote friends have carried out purging Pas from primary care. After accusing us of being a patient safety detriment for over a year, and

Good to see the BMA addressing the behaviour of it's officers, reps and members. I look forward to hearing the steps it's taking to remind people of how to remain civil whilst advocating for their beliefs.

Farzana, I'm genuinely sorry you've experienced a pile on but I must give you the thanks from our members who saw your brave actions. I hope at some stage the rest of the profession regains it's credibility and joins you in your actions. I look forward to being able to work with
