Brilliant summary of where things have moved from 24 months ago
Everyone who was involved in big and small ways should be incredibly proud
Works not done, but the tide has well and truly turned
2 Jan 2024
When I first started openly tweeting about the issues the medical profession was facing, just under 24 months ago, I was labelled with various things, but the most relevant were “elitist” and “bully”.
Since then, the same opinions were then upgraded to a “small vocal minority”.

Deleted a post due to the individual going through some personal issues at present
My comment still stands though
There are many people who gaslit and walked us into this PA issue
Own it, we remember
2 Jan 2024
Whilst I disagree profoundly with what the individual is saying here, I would ask you to consider deleting this in light of what is going on in their personal life currently.

It's boring
To open up every thread and be greeted with he said/she said, #BeKind is just tedious and not cognitively engaging
I want to see points challenged firmly, and if you can be humourous all the better

While #BeKind is an amazing ideal, in practice it has a litany of issues
If you've made it this far & are bristling because you've experienced trolls, I hugely sympathise but refer you back to this 👇

Let me preface this by saying this is not carte blanche for dickheads
You want to be an ad hominem troll, throwing insults and threats at people then go away
This isn't a defense of you. Abuse & harassment can lead to criminal charges
So then, what's wrong with #BeKind?

Yes, it's perfectly reasonable if those accounts have a solid track record
Anonymous accounts are the canary in the coalmine that you ignored
@drcolinm you are dangerously wrong on PAs. Everyone is now telling you to stop
Time to listen
Pause recruitment, reasses, then move

Is it reasonable to attribute provenance to multiple anonymous anecdotes posted from an anonymous account?
Formal processes exist to report concerns about access to training:
Student > med school > GMC
Trainee > DME > PGDean > GMC
Im more than happy to consider genuine concerns

Main character checklist on PAs
✅ Don't add anything of value to the debate for months
✅Claim you knew it was unsafe all along
✅Signal your virtue by saying be kind
To everyone else who has been working hard both on & offline to raise and fix this issue - you are amazing

Many "leaders" who have been full throated supporters of the PA project should (and probably do) know better, but in for a penny in for a pound eh?
This has always been about calling out the obvious

Each year @FPARCP conduct a census of PAs
In 2017 they asked:
"Have you ever been asked to cover trainee rota gaps at your hospital?"
The results were damning with ~60% responding "YES"
This question was dropped from subsequent census reports
PAs are replacing Drs

For anyone following along we've had a few late additions

Amazing!

So here are 6 of the top performing Unis for the written PANE, all achieving a 100% pass rate!
Amazing!
Nothing strange about that at all…
