Well this is enraging, and deeply concerning. Anyone else think this is softening the ground for the Leng outcomes?

I will continue to admire the tenacity, commitment to principles & "ladder extension" of Prof Kar @parthaskar.bsky.social

PCP Edinburgh is about to see another influx
FINALLY- Decision @RCPhysicians investigation Removal from the Council of an elected member Barring standing for elections 12 months By a panel which is unknown - with zero right to reply. (To be ratified by Council on 15/7) For exposing chicanery around PAs by senior execs While prev PRCP and Reg have zero sanctions after their actions brought along an EGM @djnicholl Pretty much as expected by an organisation trying to suppress any dissenting voice Regrets? Nil You can try whatever you want - the direction around PAs has changed for good Kids- never ever give up a fight when you are doing the right thing. On the upside? RCP have asked me to see my GP for mental distress this may have caused me. That’s nice- no?

Interesting power-grab by the GMC here.

Opening the way for CCT for people who don't have a Primary Medical Qualification?

Are we looking at the beginning of credentialing creeping towards "consultant in Emergency Medicine"?

Always wonder *why* someone wants a particular power...
Certificates of Completion of Training (CCTs) 132. The Medical Act requires the GMC to award Certificates. of Completion of Training (CCTs) to confirm that doctors have completed an approved UK specialist or GP training programme. Doctors with a CCT are eligible for entry on the GP or specialist register. The GMC has a duty to award a CCT to any person who applies for that

We've had some practice! For instance, something like the banner below was flown by Sir Horatio Cary to taunt the 3rd Earl of Essex into battle in 1642 (English Civil War)

(His wife had sued for annulment on the grounds of his impotence. He said he could with other women, she just belittled him)

This is from 2019, but I doubt it has significantly changed

His response on X was incredibly disrespectful. You made valid points, and he insults his customer
In response to the same post, but on X, Elon Musk replied "Be quiet, small man. You pay a tiny fraction of the cost. And there is no substitute for Starlink."
