I cannot imagine a single patient would consent to being operated on by a non-doctor. (even if its minor). Is this even legal ? Might as well go to your cowboy cosmetic saloon down the road to have the surgery.

POV: 🔹 You’re a new physician associate from 2021 🔹 By virtue of simply being not a doctor, you get featured on the ‘Breast Unit Consultant Staff’ page 🔹 Consultants bow before you and recognise ‘the importance of keeping my role interesting’ 🔹 If you’d gone to medical school you’d be a YEAR 3 medical student; 🔹 BUT instead you’re doing independent operations under local anaesthetic, triaging new breast cancer patients and determining their wait times, operating with consultant surgeons, and ‘managing complications’ 🔹 This is all after entering the workforce before even completing any national exams under the guise of another ambiguous ‘associate’ something or other * meanwhile the ST8 breast surgeon with 8 years specialist training, 2 years general training, and 5 years of medical school, is paid the same, has no ‘feature’ on the staff page, and is disposable * THE NHS HATES DOCTORS ☠️☠️☠️

A research project designed to help support retention and recruitment of social workers in coastal communities successfully received £500,188.91 award from National Institute of Health Research (NIHR).

The original article at whitehavennews.co.uk/news/18… includes this gem: “He and eight other students […] are completing a three-year Post graduate degree which will give them the same responsibilities as a junior doctor.” Utterly, utterly deluded.

It seems incredible to me that a consultant doctor was happy & willing to put all of this on the record… Genuinely, what is the point of a medical degree & postgrad medical training if you can do all of this in far less time without it & be paid more?

It ever ceases to amaze me The lack of professionalism from PAs on social media: Imagine seeing who you think is a GP, recounting an intimate problem (see pic), getting this advice, then seeing this post on insta from a PA with 2 weeks med experience. See also: Brain pics. 🚫
