@Anisocyte @VirtueOfNothing research.ncl.ac.uk/equivalence-in… fflm.ac.uk/forensic-pract… Whilst there are areas with great nurses, paramedics& doctors working in police custody oversight standards are highly variable. FFLM set standards but often not enforced. Sadly there's reluctance to recognize as a speciality.

This account-seen as a PA leader who @NHSE_WTE endorse -is suggesting the law needs to change to accommodate PAs re examination of children who may have been abused Here is what @FFLMUK actually said about PAs @NHSEnglandNMD @drcolinm are we all ok? fflm.ac.uk/wp-content/upl…
@InfamousGasman 1. Alder Hay employed a PA in a role and had no safety concerns. The Legal team wanted to safeguard against any potential miscarriage of justice. Therefore removed the PA from their role. They specifically stated the PA had no concerns about their role just that they weren't sure
For the Faculty of Forensic & Legal Medicine's 20th year, we are offering a special 20% Discount to our Annual Conference, which will take place at Royal Liver Suite, Liverpool on 09 and 10 May 2025. Visit our website today to view the programme and to secure your ticket!
📢 Upcoming webinar alert! On Wed 27 Nov, Prof Margaret Stark will be presenting on the challenges of managing detainees with substance use disorders in police custody. Free for FFLM Members to attend. To book your place, click here: tinyurl.com/38e5arf9
Besides the fact that @gmcuk should not be regulating PAs. PAs will pay £320 Drs pay £455 Yet a 1st year PAs earns £10,000 more than a 1st year Dr. Everything in the system is stacked to disincentivise & punish Drs.
In less than a month we will bring physician associates (PAs) and anaesthesia associates (AAs) into regulation – a milestone that will help strengthen patient safety and public trust in these professions. You can read our latest letter updating system leaders on progress on our

@Cleverclog67596 @medicalmodelbri @parthaskar @Xeon4f145d96s1 @Dr_Done_ @Doc_IonaCollins @DrNeenaJha @LittlePersonDoc Um,yes you do! It's illegal to practice medicine unless you are a Doctor.There are no short cuts to safe medical practice. You can train into a complimentary role with its own scope of practice-Nurse,Physio,Pharmacist etc-but go to medical school if you want to practice medicine
