In the last week I have seen a paediatric patient with a significantly delayed diagnosis who was originally seen by a PA several months in primary care before they were diagnosed. I’ve never quite voiced my concerns on here about this before but undifferentiated patients 1/3

There is a lot of talk about junior doctors’ “final earning potential” in the NHS as a consultant. Let me tell you this. I’ve been a consultant for 4 years, and graduated 17 years ago.

Need to be taken in the context of this. It is the reason why I’ve never seen an AI app cope well with paediatric patients, having tested some myself. Having a PA see a patient, even if discussed with a GP subsequently, results in 2 adults between patient and decision-maker. 3/3

IMO should always be seen by a doctor, particularly in primary care where so much depends on pattern recognition without easy availability of test results. Paediatrics has the added layer of complexity where the historian is often not the patient themselves, and histories 2/3

One could say that we should be looking only for people who don’t see pay as an issue to do medicine but with the cost of living crises, the fallout from Covid, pay not matching inflation for decades, the fact is many no longer find medicine a financially viable career.
