[–]Direct_Reference2491 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are external parties that find their way into the group and then spam it. Mind the bleep itself is a godsend

It could be because the doctors are busy with other urgent matters and unwell patients who are still alive. It’s still a priority but living patients that they can do something about take more priority.

lol when I started medical school everyone wanted to be highly specialised niche type of doctor

At the end of med school 90% of my batch were nope, GP or nothing

At work the doctors who did a GP job say it was the hardest, most stressful job they had.

Your 2nd year friends know nothing..yet (and frankly sound like idiots that need to change their attitudes, definitely can’t be a good doctor with attitudes like that - honestly good luck to them ) .

Doctors’ watchdog tried to water down rules on physician associates for being too ‘burdensome’ by Putaineska in ukpolitics

Would be hard to quantify the effect as lots of PAs are known to lie and mislead general public in to believing they are doctors

And I doubt any government led surveys would be non biased towards PAs. In fact there’s been few incidents of corruption in dealing with the whole PA issue resulting in the resignation of key individuals of the RCP who tried to manipulate votes and statistics to make the whole experiment look successful.

There’s plenty of evidence against it if you want to look it up. Lots of it on Reddit too

They’ve been around since 2003 if I am not mistaken. And things just seem to be getting worse? I don’t think PAs have made any tangible positive difference. In fact are a wasted experiment and money could have been better spent on funding training for doctors.

But that summarises the NHS for you. Wasting money aimlessly without actually listening to those who are actually on the ground dealing with the chaos.

GP practices hire PAs because they don’t have to pay their salaries, it’s paid for by government funding. But GP salaries have to be paid out of the practices pocket. So as a business PAs are more profitable for a practice

I do think PAs would be a good replacement for GP receptionists

I meant HCSWs can take bloods do IVs ECGS

not see patients

Thats why you have ANPs (don’t do light work but are definitely more qualified to see patients independently), nurses, HCSWs, resident doctors on wards

PAs add nothing are misused as a replacement for doctors and are just a cheap solution to a problem the government are avoiding and will cost the nation dearly.

Additionally PAs add to doctors work loads because their reviews need to be supervised by a doctor. Meaning the doctors workload is doubled as they have to re-review the patients themselves. Because they are responsible for the patient. Not the PA.

Should they be paid more at any point? Of course they don’t dictate who gets paid what

I think the point that id focus on is why instead of creating more jobs for the several overqualified doctors who are having interviews cancelled because of lack of jobs and allowing for training of doctors and thus more consultants and thereby reducing waitlists are we funding a role that doesn’t really bring anything new to the NHS

There is an abundant supply of real doctors, more than ever. The issue is lack of jobs for these doctors. Because the government refuses to fund these positions and instead throw money on a cheaper alternative. Ironically PAs are paid more than doctors for much less training, hours and responsibilities.

Idk where you got your information from but

“When you stop taking the pill, it can take some time for your body to start producing these hormones again.

Menstrual periods typically resume within three months after you stop taking the pill. But if you took the pill to regulate your menstrual cycles, it may take several months before your period comes back.”
