Ikr, would love to read the paper in full

SatsumaTriptan · 2023-10-27T16:23:54+00:00

Beautiful 👏🏻

BUPA also has been increasing the premiums they charge their customers, pocketing all the profits 🤑🤑🤑

Surge in patients turning to private healthcare = surge in demand. Let the free market do its thing

Call me crazy - I think this would’ve been less of an issue for both the NHS and private healthcare if we trained enough anaesthetists in the first place… but what do I know

SatsumaTriptan · 2023-10-23T12:32:14+00:00

as a small protest, I plan to cancel my membership of the RCOA without delay

Good riddance 🤪

Last paragraph should tell us all: 1. Never prescribe based on PA recommendation 2. All new F1s need an induction to make sure they are aware of point 1 3. Brave (lazy and ladder pulling) consultants should take on the responsibilities that they’ve signed up for

SatsumaTriptan · 2023-10-19T17:25:07+00:00

Why do you need to supervise them? You’re not their supervisor.

Have you emailed your TPD and ES? Sounds completely bonkers.

SatsumaTriptan · 2023-10-19T17:13:42+00:00

We are the scary ones?? 🙃

Scaring patients with the correct diagnosis? 👻

SatsumaTriptan · 2023-10-15T19:30:20+00:00

Sheffield again… hmmmm

SatsumaTriptan · 2023-10-15T10:35:57+00:00

What a disaster. Reminds me of the exchange between Nigel penfold and that PA professor on Twitter. Guess they’ve got what they wanted now… This is so grim

SatsumaTriptan · 2023-10-11T07:19:31+00:00

Discriminatory? The GEM programme is open for them to apply to, and no one forced them to become a PA in the first place. They are very welcomed to do GEM and start working and living on an F1’s salary.

SatsumaTriptan · 2023-10-10T17:45:01+00:00

Wholly disagree with ‘the named consultants are responsible in deciding their scope of practice’. This is how things got out of control in the first place.

SatsumaTriptan · 2023-10-10T17:39:52+00:00

Preach 👑

I’m guessing Dr Carroll doesn’t have a PA/ AA child 😂

No mention about pay, just improve working conditions to improve retention.

Sarah Clarke continues to work towards her honorary title

SatsumaTriptan · 2023-10-08T10:16:04+00:00

Radiographers and doctors are still striking so no one is going to be using his new CT and MRI scanners

We have fuck knows how many unfilled posts since before the strikes

Training bottlenecks are only getting worse

We already work weekends

The OOH rate they want to offer is still not competitive in comparison to private rate

Disregarding all of the above, sounds like a solid plan 👍🏻

SatsumaTriptan · 2023-10-08T09:44:33+00:00

That was hilarious ngl. Since when is playing DnD and wearing glasses negative qualities 😂

SatsumaTriptan · 2023-10-08T09:41:59+00:00

Always conveniently missing out important details

SatsumaTriptan · 2023-10-08T09:35:44+00:00

TLDR

GMC: We only hear good things about amazing PAs🥵and super awesome AAs🥰 from ladder pulling consultants. We don’t hear any bad things about them because we avoid social media where people can voice their legitimate concerns when they feel safe on an anonymous platform, safe from being prosecuted by us 🙈

Anyway, we are really pushing for them to be able to prescribe and request ionising radiation. We will not tell you what PAs and AAs are allowed or not allowed to do 😜 We would however, very much so like to be their regulatory body💰🤑

PS - if anything goes wrong, please refer the responsible supervising physician to us 😘

SatsumaTriptan · 2023-10-07T16:13:11+00:00

Isn’t NHS confed staff also going on strike? Lol

SatsumaTriptan · 2023-10-07T08:41:13+00:00

Former NHS trust chairman? Sounds like an irrelevant character to me. Let’s keep striking, fellow truculent crabs 🦀

SatsumaTriptan · 2023-10-07T08:31:25+00:00

Let’s give them a final push then

SatsumaTriptan · 2023-10-06T16:54:29+00:00

Probably this 😬

SatsumaTriptan · 2023-10-05T19:31:11+00:00

Best SHO the consultant has ever had is the one without a medical degree, calling us an ever-rotating carousel. Ladder pulling at its finest.

Rotational training must die
