Thank you
Brilliant summary of where things have moved from 24 months ago
Everyone who was involved in big and small ways should be incredibly proud
Works not done, but the tide has well and truly turned
Deleted a post due to the individual going through some personal issues at present
My comment still stands though
There are many people who gaslit and walked us into this PA issue
Own it, we remember
It's boring
To open up every thread and be greeted with he said/she said, #BeKind is just tedious and not cognitively engaging
I want to see points challenged firmly, and if you can be humourous all the better
7/🧵
While #BeKind is an amazing ideal, in practice it has a litany of issues
If you've made it this far & are bristling because you've experienced trolls, I hugely sympathise but refer you back to this 👇

8/8
Let me preface this by saying this is not carte blanche for dickheads
You want to be an ad hominem troll, throwing insults and threats at people then go away
This isn't a defense of you. Abuse & harassment can lead to criminal charges
So then, what's wrong with #BeKind?
2/🧵
Yes, it's perfectly reasonable if those accounts have a solid track record
Anonymous accounts are the canary in the coalmine that you ignored
@drcolinm you are dangerously wrong on PAs. Everyone is now telling you to stop
Time to listen
Pause recruitment, reasses, then move
Main character checklist on PAs
✅ Don't add anything of value to the debate for months
✅Claim you knew it was unsafe all along
✅Signal your virtue by saying be kind
To everyone else who has been working hard both on & offline to raise and fix this issue - you are amazing
Many "leaders" who have been full throated supporters of the PA project should (and probably do) know better, but in for a penny in for a pound eh?
This has always been about calling out the obvious
📢 New #ASiT Report on Physician Associate Impact on Surgical Training and Patient Care 🏥👩⚕️
🔍 Largest ever ASiT survey: 1,978 doctors across all surgical specialties in the UK.
🤝 Focus: Physician Associates (PAs) impact on surgical training and patient care
📈 73.8% worked with PAs; varied experiences & views.
🔗 Link to report: bit.ly/3H4I8Pm
#NHS #SurgicalTraining #PatientCare #HealthcarePolicy
87.9% of surgical trainees thought PAs misrepresented the role to patients
This whole thing is damning
70.5% reported negative impact
15.5% being supervised by PAs
47% reported negative impact on patient care
88%believed trainees should be involved in
defining the scope for PAs
70% did not believe PAs should have a role in surgical
procedures
@KeeleyMP @shaungw @ShaunLintern
Each year @FPARCP conduct a census of PAs
In 2017 they asked:
"Have you ever been asked to cover trainee rota gaps at your hospital?"
The results were damning with ~60% responding "YES"
This question was dropped from subsequent census reports
PAs are replacing Drs
For anyone following along we've had a few late additions
8 universities in total claiming to have 100% pass rate on the written PA National Exam
Amazing!

There is a lot of talk about the PA National Exam
So here are 6 of the top performing Unis for the written PANE, all achieving a 100% pass rate!
Amazing!
Nothing strange about that at all…
