Emeritus Prof Christopher May<p>Q. why does the Govt. want the GMC to also regulate physician associates &amp; anaesthesia associates? </p><p>The BMA thinks this will 'muddy the waters' on regulation of the <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/healthservice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>healthservice</span></a> &amp; will lead to <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/patient" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>patient</span></a> confusion about whether they have *actually* seen <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/doctors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>doctors</span></a>. </p><p>But, perhaps the key thing to ask is what are the <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Tories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tories</span></a> trying to achieve?</p><p>As elsewhere they are trying to normalise the de-professionalisation of staff &amp; dilute skills... in this case, to further damage the NHS's reputation!</p>
