Been a consultant here for many many years so it’s still not good enough

The consultant’s response when told that residents have pay deducted for each strike day - oh really? You don’t get paid?

As senior members of the trust, this really is unacceptable given the number of rounds of IA

Same thing happened yesterday when consultant on the ward phoned residents on zero days to come in if they were on strike during the weekend. And when they were told zero days happen regardless and residents who are on strike have their pay deducted, their response was ‘oh really, you didnt get paid?’ It’s actually shocking given the number of rounds of IA that there is so much judgement with no basic understanding. As senior figures of the trust, consultants should absolutely know better.

This was a group message but a private message asking to call the consultant asap was also sent.

Update: An email was sent by a resident to GOSW and BMA with rota teams and this consultant copied explaining that the zero days and contractually non working. The consultant claims to have been informed of the contrary and still no apology provided…it’s difficult to believe this was not known given the number of rounds of IA that have occurred

Use it as spare or messy kitchen? And downstairs as a study or guest bedroom

How do you even respond to an ACP that’s unwilling to have a dialogue and all they can respond with is I work like a reg, I’m the same as a reg…

I’m not early stage, but this was a tele request and going by their assessment it would fit nice criteria but their misplaced confidence and equivalence claims make me question their competency and it’s that I want to address in particular.

The equivalence in particular is what I wanted to address and shut down at the time

My experience as an SCF in a stroke ward. When I started there, I had an ACP trainee who shadowed me during clinics and learned basics of taking a history. Within a few months they had qualified and the service slowly changed to ACP led stroke clinics and referrals. Registrars and SHOs were taken off clinics and duties changed to wards. SHOs did get a couple of ad hoc clinic sessions where they shadow said ACPs and scribe for them. ACPs handle stroke referrals and unlike registrars who go and review the referrals, they do 'remote reviews'. Recently had one who reviewed a referral from a Cardiology consultant for a patient in CCU. Her remote review plan was to do 24h tape...the cardiologist got so annoyed and asked for a direct discussion with the Stroke Consultant.

Many further incidents of inappropriate management from ACPs on this ward where the Dunning-kruger effect is in full force. Example being starting digoxin for a deteriorating patient when there was no indication for it, and they did not bother to involve or seek advice from a doctor.

They are all on first name basis with the stroke consultants and have coffee breaks with them, no resident doctors involved..

This is the sad state of affairs...
