Attention FRCPs Happy #RCPEGM Anniversary😱

Here is why I’m supporting @drlkvaughan.bsky.social to be Clinical Vice President at @rcphysicians.bsky.social

#VoteLouella & polls open Monday 🗳️

…which reminds me: when will @rcphysicians.bsky.social publish its submission to the Leng Review?
And will it be consistent with College policy from the #RCPEGM?

#RCPTimeForChange

“Our focus is on ensuring that patient safety and high-quality medical training are prioritised...”
Ye-es, but that’s only because of the #RCPEGM, opposed by the @rcphysicians.bsky.social senior leaders.

We can do better.
#RCPTimeForChange

I’ve worked with @copddoc.bsky.social and @drbarrymonk1.bsky.social over the last year, before & since the #RCPEGM; the three of us believe it’s #TimeForChange in @RCPhysicians after the issues we’ve seen play out since March 2024.

#RCPTimeForChange

Candidates announced for RCP president, clinical vice president and councillor elections

@drlkvaughan.bsky.social would be absolutely be my choice for Clinical Vice President…she has experience on RCP council previously & was utterly key at #RCPEGM

#TimeForChange just need to convince her BlueSky>>>X/Twitter 😀

PRCP Election — Dr Asif Qasim, MA PhD FRCP Dr Asif Qasim candidate for election at President of the Royal College of Physicians - restoring the RCP as the Voice of Physicians

My good friend @drasifqasim.bsky.social is standing to be President of Royal College of Physicians…I’ve only got to know Asif over the last 2 years in all the mess over #RCPEGM

He is an outstanding physician, I cannot commend him enough. Tell your FRCP chums #VoteAsif asifqasim.co.uk/prcp

Shameless behaviour by Prof Stephen Powis and Navina Evans from NHS England in what was clearly an organised comms strategy with a story in @thetimes.com yesterday placed with lots of quotes from Lord Bethell.

They tried the same tactics before #RCPEGM last year

youtu.be/LxP5XnvCXLs?...

On this issue, @thetimes.com are a busted flush, I tried to get their health editor interested especially as I helped organise the #RCPEGM only the THIRD in over 500y (even as DHSC were organising a briefing campaign)

He wasn’t interested

Why the rise of Physician Associates poses a risk for the NHS The use of Physician Associates is growing at an alarming rate. Dr David Nicholl explains why we should all be concerned

…but The Times didn’t run those stories…but then when I approached the Times health correspondent about #RCPEGM only the THIRD in over 500 years. He wasn’t interested (clearly I’m not as connected as Lord Bethell 🤪)
Why this matters 👉 eastangliabylines.co.uk/news/health/...

..of course @thetimes.com could have chosen to run a number of stories on #physicianassociates the Times could have run the story on the Dept of Health spin operation leading up to #RCPEGM & how Parliamentarians were “misadvised” www.bmj.com/content/386/...

Just voted in support of motions 1 - 5 in the EGM 2024. #FRCP #RCPEGM Thank you @trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social and others

hello #RCPEGM. declaration of conflicts is good for transparency. however, it does not manage the conflicts. sometimes transparency results in the view that the conflict has been managed. it has not.
