@trentconsultant I'm concerned this pension plan isn't so much for doctors as it is to help their rich donors evade even more tax. Definitely helps consultants with the pension tax issue though, but they seem to be portraying it as just to help doctors 🧐 suspicious

@DrNeenaJha @DavidPNoble63 I think all these documents need to start having author names on them. The people responsible need to be held to account.

@PeteDav69 @Xeon4f145d96s1 @Iromg That's not how you proposition someone, mate 🤣 This is ironically the first time anyone has asked me that and the first time I've ever actually said that my pronouns he/him 🤣🤣 of all the people to ask pronouns, I didn't expect it to be some random nationalist nutcase 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@TomStocks1982 Sharing this here as it's relevant. Petition for ARRS funding to be used for GPs also.

Petition: Allow ARRS funding to be used for practice nurses and GPs

The Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS) has made available to GP practices £1,412 million in 2023/24 to employ people in 17 new roles. We would like GP practices to also be able to use this...

@KirkwoodDW @ashleighlowther Their pay rises are obscene given what they've actually delivered to the country. Don't forget, they have practically unlimited expenses paid too, so their salaries go far more than any of ours do.

@SnotSurgeon @fessdoc I don't think anyone is against the existence of PAs as they were originally intended - to ASSIST doctors. Scope creep has become the issue of the times and is a totally undeniable reality. PAs performing Neurosurgery and running 2WW clinics?! Giving GPs over the phone advice?!

@QLDCountryGP @gem1509 In the Emily Chesterton case, the FPARCP blamed it on the GPs for lack of supervision. Absolutely no accountability. PA in question was suspended from their voluntary register I believe, but I've also heard that they continue to work as a locum in London.
