Just going to leave this here.
It's seems to me that we get distracted by many things whilst the bastards are trying to take away the best thing this country has ever done.

The GMC has been able to spend unlimited funds on its own lawyers thanks to the metaphorical blank cheque handed to it.
We don’t have that luxury and it’s important we are able to pay our lawyers for their hard work.

Stop misleading patients - Physician Associates cannot replace doctors
We are a group of anaesthetists (doctors trained in anaesthesia) that are unhappy with the way the medical establishment is selling patients and the profession short.

We would not want to think the College had had the wool pulled over its head by nuances of wording, so we would welcome clarification from the RCP as to the exact terminology that was used in the answer given to Professor Kar’s question.

Did Mr Massey tell the RCP that the GMC would "accept" College scope for PAs, or "utilise" it?
A commitment to “utilise” rather than “adopt” would mean GMC having regard to, but not consider itself bound to or committed to enforce, such guidance.

This is a reasonable summary but I have concerns. Anaesthetists are worried and I'm not sure they're being listened to.

I’m worried sick about patient safety as highly trained clinicians are replaced by 2yr-trained associates. Does this make me a “social media rabble”? Or is the “be kind” movement being cynically weaponised? Those monitoring my posts, put this on the agenda for the meeting you’ve asked me to attend.
