The BMA is threatening to take the regulator GMC to court over Physician Associates and Anaesthesia Associates We covered this on my @lbc show on Sunday and I was truly shocked to hear from doctor after doctor how wrong PA usage is right now So I’m supporting the @TheBMA πŸ‘πŸΌ
Today we have responded to the BMA, strongly rejecting the basis on which they have proposed to bring legal proceedings. You can read our statement on our website - gmc-uk.org/news/news-archive…

I'm backing Max Wilkinson @mpmwilko to be the next MP for Cheltenham. As a former Echo journalist he knows Cheltenham inside out. As a councillor he championed zero carbon policy, local business, air quality action and local arts & culture. He'll be a terrrific MP. @cheltlibdems

Alex Chalk did NOT save our A&E. It was really at risk of closure in 2006. All-party campaign saved it & our maternity unit. AC was still a London councillor who’d never lived or worked here. Did promise Type1 24hr A&E back. Failed. ⁦@cheltlibdems⁩ @gloslive ⁦@BBCGlos⁩

Midwives are underpaid, overworked, and are being pushed to breaking point. That's the message I heard from members of the Royal College of Midwives on a walkabout of my local maternity wards. Solidarity with the midwives as they ballot for strike action! #EnoughlsEnough

The end result is not to improve safety: instead it undermines safe care, increases the likelihood of trauma. Midwives have standards for education & practice: nmc.org.uk/globalassets/site…. @thetimes, surely you have standards for your journalists? @IpsoNews @councilofdeans @nmcnews

Misrepresenting midwifery education, knowledge and skills in this way causes needless damage and distress to midwives and students when they are already stressed by understaffing. Most importantly it is likely to raise anxiety among women and can damage trust in their midwives.

I have stayed off Twitter recently: the negative coverage of midwifery practice, policy, research, & education is relentless and Twitter is not good with thoughtful nuanced debate. But the recent article in @thetimes is a new low. Thanks @hazard_leah for calling it out. A thread:

A compliant media has allowed Boris Johnson to get away with lie after lie after lie. If you think this shocking exposΓ© of lies told during his first 12 months as Prime Minister should be shown on every UK news channel share it as widely as possible

I guess @BorisJohnson is hoping we’ve all just forgotten about the Russia report just like he hopes we’ve forgotten his party cut 21,000 Police officers, 23,500 police support staff & closed 600 police stations. Do RT this if you would like to let him know you haven’t

If you agree its completely unacceptable for BBC1 to report pledges broken by the Government as promises broken by the β€œNHS” please RT. Let’s make it a million today & shame BBC1 into an apology!

This is @BorisJohnson on his first campaign visit to Addenbrookes Hospital. He was forced to leave with the boos of patients and workers echoing in his ears. Please get this viral. #DeadInADitchDay
