The British Medical Association is calling for a ban on advanced practitioners being used on doctors’ rotas, as it publishes a dossier of accounts of when patient safety has been put at risk. buff.ly/gyn0vGq

Steven Spielberg wears a respirator while being interviewed outside the opening of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art on September 19, 2026.
Respiratory protection doesn’t have to be unusual or disruptive. For many people, it remains a simple, everyday way to reduce the risk of airborne infection and help protect their health and the health of those around them.

Patients are being harmed and dying because the NHS is replacing doctors with nurses and other healthcare workers, medics have warned.

This is the biggest lie you’ve been told.
You’re told the West is falling apart because of migrants and minorities.
But who closed the factories? Crashed the banks? Launched the wars?
Here’s what really happened.

The only people who want to work to “local scope” and “self regulation” in healthcare are those who want to work as per their hubris, not their knowledge
It’s to avoid scrutiny while satisfying their hubris
Whatever be the cost to the public
There’s a reason I work to a national scope and @gmcuk regulation
To work to my training, a defined scope and regulation.
Safety first
Hubris later
You can play as much mental gymnastics and word salad as you want.
Ignoring or resisting a drive to a national scope and fudging regulation?
Is to satisfy hubris.
Simple to be honest.

Listening to discussion of denial of bathroom access to a primary school child.
In a recorded clip, Minister Dixon said, "...we have to check if the rules were broken..."
DJM's comment: "No, minister, you have to check if the rules make sense."
I agree, @djmillerJA.

This is horrifying! 🚨
“AI technology that listens to and transcribes patients’ consultations with doctors can put them at risk by getting the names of drugs and illnesses wrong, an NHS watchdog has warned.”

What's far more common than plagiarism in academia is white profs getting into their positions on the backs of exploiting and stealing ideas & work from students, postdocs, asst profs - many of who are POCs, because this is often the way the only way they will be allowed to stay

Michelle Mone remains a life peer with a personal wealth in the tens of millions.

Who are the consultants enabling this? PAs have no place in psychiatric assessment & diagnosis.
It is “not mandatory that the PA has prior experience of a relevant specialty” but will “perform clinical duties with a high degree of clinical skill and knowledge”. Huh? 🤔 (1/n)
Morning @wesstreeting .
You said that you’d implement the @lengreview recommendations. Please explain why this job ad appeared yesterday on NHS jobs .
How can a newly qualified PA learn to diagnose ADHD on the job ? How can they be on the PAMVR?

A prayer for those who have to be out working and have left their family at home. The firefighters, journalists, shelter workers, police, soldiers, security guards, hospital workers and all the others. For those who will have to jump right into it as soon as this pass too. 🙏🙏🙏
