#UK recruited police officers in a hurry, to fix stupid #Tory cuts, and employed rapists, thugs, and domestic abusers.

Physician associates to be renamed Title change an attempt to reduce risk of PAs being mistaken for doctors after a series of patient safety incidents

#GoodNews, if true on #PhysicianAssociates (or rather assistants). #CampaigningWorks

What I and others were calling for in House of Lords last year: www.nataliebennett.org/latest/my-fa...
