I'd say to PA colleagues, don't get into BMA bashing on the back of the statement or unnecessary arguments. It will not lead to anything useful. BMA can represent their membs as they see fit. We need to work collaboratively with doctors on this. Let's not become what we despise.

@ollieburtonmed Hi Ollie ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿฝ (From a 2ry care perspective) Do you know if this is usually as a verbatim statement or in the context of the role within the depts explained and expectations clarified? (Ps. I'm of the opinion, that no one should ever be forced to prescribe for a PA)

Today my thoughts/thanks go out to the FPA leadership/board specifically. Despite what's been said here publicly about them I know and trust they are working their socks off, drained and exhausted by the unending barrage of work/personnel/private life they have to deal with.

@StuMaitland Argh.. I'm a PA and know how I felt about it. Couldn't understand it when I saw it. But would like to think it was an over sight. Maybe feedback to them and hopefully it'll be rectified in the future.

@docdai See you and appreciate you but also understand. Any doc not towing the party line is shut down straight away and have lots of mud thrown their way. Even as a PA, our opinion and thoughts on it, isn't even welcomed in some corners. Thanks for sharing your thoughts honestly.

@ollieburtonmed My two pence; shouldn't be forced on anyone. I'd personally have a preference for my supervisor to be someone who has willingly agreed to take it on.

Back into the same things around PAs Thoughts on a few.. PA colleagues struggling to get job is not really surprising in the current climate. My sincere hope is that unis are supporting and walking alongside them. Need to be clear to students about current issues.
