At @BMA_NI we represent all Doctors and we are not aware of any strategy or plan to resolve this. In fact it is likely to get worse…
‘A real threat to patient safety.’
As @TheBMA releases a report cataloguing hundreds of doctors’ concerns about the use of advanced practitioner (AP) staff, association chair @thomasdolphin calls on NHS leaders to wake up and take action. 🧵[1/6]

Revealed: the unsafe doctor substitutions putting patients at risk.
We need NHS leadership to wake up. Hospitals knowingly using doctor substitutes, following years of shambolic workforce planning by successive governments, is a serious threat to patient safety.
We are calling for a prohibition on the use of non-doctors on doctors’ rotas and an urgent review of advanced practitioners’ scopes of practice.
Only doctors should be able to carry out work that requires a doctor’s unique training, skills and expertise.
