I’m simply horrified to see @NHSEngland now literally breaking the law in how it misrepresents physician associates & other allied health professional - who are NOT doctors - to the public.

'Over the last 25 years I’ve been in the NHS?
It’s been fascinating to watch how, in a drive to create a “level playing field” or hubris of 'why are doctors special'..

Brilliant interplay of the complexity of pacing in #syncope . We go for rhythm correlation and symptoms but it’s more tricky than this . @rcpsglasgow

National/Act/NZF coalition agreement scraps smokefree environments amendment act.
That legislation has the potential to be the single most important step against cancer in our lifetime.
Huge blow for cancer prevention.
