This makes the whole thing even worse than it was before…..3 years of English lit, 2 years of PA studies and they can pretend to do my job?
(And yet my ED Dr colleagues wouldn’t be allowed to try my job)
The universities, NHSE & govt have absolutely lost the plot
Physician's Associates qualify for courses with degrees including homeopathy and English literature!!

In amongst the #physicianassociate noise / chaos, I would quietly like to say that I think the PA model works really well in A&E. All my ED PA colleagues @LeedsHospitals are great and seamlessly integrated into the team. I think this is also because we have 10/10 senior support❤️
I ask the (dis)honourable lady, why she thinks #LGBTQ+ people are SO SHOCKING / IMMORAL that learning about their existence would rob primary school children of their innocence?!
Making up random rules isn’t a solution. No one is sat relaxing and intentionally making pts wait 6+ hrs. Long waits are awful for us, dealing with sick / angry pts waiting hrs for care isn’t something we relish, shockingly. (But, if triage counts, are we already achieving this?)
A&E patients must be seen in an hour, NHS told bbc.in/3wQJLOP
IS IT NEARLY ELECTION TIME YET? (Also @JamesCleverly, how stupid are you?! The care sector rests on the shoulders of immigrants)

The last refuge for apologists of Israel’s mass slaughter of Gaza is “But Hamas!”
So let’s be clear here.
An army which shoots children in the head cannot claim moral superiority over Hamas, or practically any other military force on earth
The most important question here is, who volunteered to model this?!?! 😦
Intubation attempt #1 failed, and now you have to bag them back up. This technique has been referred to as the "silo" or "barrel" technique.
I prefer to call it the "bowling ball" 🎳 technique.
Placement of 2 NPAs and an OPA significantly increases the cross-sectional diameter of the airway that is stented open. This will prevent airway tissue collapse as you apply external positive pressure.
The safety pins shown are to keep the NPA from getting dislodged in the airway if the flared end is smaller. This is not usually necessary with the newer designs.

Suella Braverman must be one of the worst, most evil, despicable humans to ever exist. I wonder how it feels.
Sunak is a monster. HOWEVER, NHS staff are amazing, and you can bet your ass we will make sure people get treated somewhere they feel safe and comfortable. We are so much better than this BS.
Transgender women will be banned from being treated in female hospital wards in England, under new proposals suggested by the health secretary trib.al/4hCjAkg
I’m a Dr. I currently have to locum 2-3 weekend days a month to make ends meet, in a job where I already work 2-4 weekend days a month.
Y’all, I’m TIRED. This is not the life I worked for.
The business/work/enterprise Q is stupid. It doesn’t matter how many hours you worked - try asking people how much money they earned, surely that’s a better measure of business savvy?! (Or familial financial stress)…(or both).
Not only you have to be a medic, now you have to be a business person, athlete, volunteer, musician, actor, and run a business?!
