Oh. So the screw-up of the MRCP exam saw many UK-based applicants pass when they should have failed, and many non-UK applicants fail when they should have passed. This sure stinks. If you’re eligible to vote in the PRCP election, let’s get some new blood in.

Highly recommend reading this piece on the increasingly widespread use of PAs to replace doctors in the NHS. It’s an issue that horrifies many of us.
