The GMC say they won’t lower their standards or requirements.
The below is a snippet from a GMC meeting stating they intend to approve PA courses where the requirements fail to meet their standards.
Why wouldn’t they do the same for medicine courses?
Is the GMC lying to you?
There has been some news coverage today about four year medical degrees that are being considered by NHS England, as part of their long-term workforce plan.
As is the case with all proposals for new programmes or medical schools, our role is to make sure they prepare students for the Medical Licensing Assessment gmc-uk.org/education/medical…, and meet the standards and outcomes for medical education and training set out in Promoting excellence gmc-uk.org/education/standar…, and Outcomes for graduates gmc-uk.org/education/standar…. We won’t be lowering our standards and requirements.

How on earth did the Speaker think this would be okay? Refusing to let a Black woman speak, *forty-six times*, in a debate that was partly *about* her, is just... extraordinary as a choice.
ALT Screenshot from BBC News website showing clips from Parliament of Diane Abbott trying to be seen by the Speaker. The text underneath says: Headline: Diane Abbott stands to catch Speaker's attention 46 times Main body: Veteran MP Diane Abbott stood up to catch the Speaker's eye 46 times during a PMQs dominated by a debate about racist comments. Alleged comments by a Tory donor that Ms Abbott made him "want to hate all black women" dominated the session on Wednesday. Despite standing many times to ask a question of the prime minister, she was not selected to do so. A spokesperson for the Speaker said he "ran out of time" to call Ms Abbott.

Sorry for the notes app statement lol but I wanted to have a little rant about something I saw earlier this week re: the word “queer” — no offence to anyone, just my thoughts and two cents x

This morning @Keir_Starmer made his thoughts very clear on @LBC that ministers should now be coming back to the negotiating table.
Mat Rob retweeted
The Government says we walked away from talks - but it was them who walked away.
Ministers can’t even explain why they won’t talk to us while strikes are planned, like they did with barristers.
Come back to the table with a credible offer and we can end this now.

Does he seriously think anyone is falling for this ‘alms for the poor’ crap?
Pay them a decent wage and they can buy their own treats, dickhead.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has been seen at King's Cross railway station purchasing seasonal treats, which were reportedly for key workers.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Junior Doctor is a title given to fully qualified Doctors who are either in a 2 year clinical foundation, or have not yet specialised and so are supervised by Consultants in their area of practice. They make up 48% of Doctors in England and could have a decade of experience.
