A draft clinical protocol for Physician Assistants has been shared with us for our feedback. We will be responding with our view that it does not provide sufficient safeguards for patients, and risks undermining residents’ training. 1/5

The weekly cancer MDT meeting can cause treatment delays, result in poor quality decisions, and waste clinicians’ time, say @tomroques and colleagues.
It’s time for a fresh approach

Current commissioning and funding structures are stifling innovation and causing unequal access to innovative cancer treatments ❌
We're urging the government to seize the NHS Cancer Plan as an opportunity to change this.

“One of the problems can be that it overdiagnoses things and makes you do unnecessary treatments.”

Multidisciplinary team working will be increasingly essential as cancer care becomes more complex.
We're urging the Government to use the upcoming National Cancer Plan for England to kick-start reform of how cancer MDTs work.

The introduction of Physician Associates in the NHS has raised serious concerns among some of our members.
We support several changes the Leng Review has proposed, but there's still work to be done to define how PAs work with our specialties.

“Patients are being failed by a chronic lack of radiologists and oncologists.
Despite the best efforts of NHS staff, there aren’t enough doctors to ensure prompt, safe and effective care – and the outlook is bleak."

“It is a false economy to be spending over £200m of NHS funds outsourcing radiology work to private companies, and evidence of our failure to train and retain the amount of NHS radiologists we need.”

Excited to be launching our AI polling research today - thanks to the team and @JLPartnersPolls, some fascinating findings which should inform how we approach the rollout of AI in our specialties.
You can read more about it here too: independent.co.uk/news/uk/nh…
Public opinion is clear: doctors must oversee the use of AI in the NHS.
Our latest polling shows that people support AI – and they want clinicians to lead.

🧵We were devastated to hear of the error in processing rankings for radiology specialty training applications. This will undoubtedly be hugely difficult for the many doctors awaiting news, in a year where there is such heavy competition (1/3) ⬇️
Thoughts with the many brilliant, talented, expert people I work with regularly within @NHSEngland. I can understand the case for reducing duplication with DHSC, but care needed to ensure too many great people aren't lost.
