We welcome today’s announcement from @wesstreeting on the independent review of the physician associate and anaesthesia associate professions.
‘Patient safety is our absolute priority – we’ve been campaigning for a slowdown in the expansion of the PA workforce since March.
‘Many of our members have significant concerns about the safe deployment of PAs which is why we’ve called on system leaders to lead work to develop a national scope of practice, with input from royal colleges and specialist societies.
‘We also welcome the news that the conclusions of the Leng review will inform the UK government’s workforce plans.’ @Mumtaz_Patel_1

The data from our latest Physicians’ Census highlights the need for urgent reform to improve working conditions and the retention of NHS staff. We, along with our sister Colleges @RCPEdin and @RCPhysicians urge the new government to make these vital efforts a priority.
Ian retweeted
No surprises.
It is grim for Consultant Physicians (and all doctors) in NHS at moment.
Not sure the answer any of us surveyed would have given as to what we hoped for was another "external review of NHS performance"!
@acutemedicine @DrLKVaughan
Today, with @rcpsglasgow and @RCPEdin , we are publishing findings from the 2023 UK consultant physician census.
They give key insights into consultants’ working lives, including the effects of rota gaps, workload, morale and more.

Consultant physicians continue to manage significant workloads – almost 1/5 said that they almost never feel in control of their workload.
Only 36% said that they feel in control of their workload most of the time or almost always.
