I don't understand why registration for PAs and AAs is voluntary. It should be a condition of their employment that they are registered for regulatory purposes with national standards for scope of practice. I also fail to understand the point of these roles existing.
Today @gmcuk.bsky.social starts regulating non-doctors as it opens voluntary registration of AAs and PAs. It does so without any national agreement in place to confirm scope of practice for these roles, and so puts patient safety at risk.

The whole point of the GMC is to keep patients safe from harm.
But what if, like OFWAT & OFCOM, it’s turning into another politically-neutered, failing regulator?
I cannot stand silently by as the GMC fails patients in the PA debacle.

Why Britain’s doctors are in revolt
To save the NHS money, the General Medical Council has been pushing the use of physician associates in place of qualified doctors—and putting patients at risk

I’m always struck by how the messy details of how people actually work, and why they work in the way they work - work-as-done - seem to receive so little attention in industrial, work and organizational psychology (or occupational and organisational psychology).

A common misconception about pyschological safety is that is about being 'nice'. If the people banging on about #PsychologicalSafety actually read the literature rather than making assumptions, they would understand the highest level is *the ability to disagree*. Even robustly, if required.
