I don’t agree it is the same. F2s will get jobs because it is just a management problem and their careers will progress
PA s will not get jobs because the role won’t exist as they were promised - we have trained up a profession for a profession that won’t exist

PAs were sold a lie by the government and the universities that put on courses
First step is all education costs associated with this course should be refunded
Second step they should be helped to find jobs , there are many jobs outside the traditional role but inside the industry - I work with two medical device reps that trained as PAs and are now on huge commission based salaries selling spinal implants - PA training has given them a good foundation
“Left in limbo” is exactly what’s happened to 4000+ PAs, with newly qualified PAs over last two years struggling to find employment. Left in limbo helps the govt avoid having to take full accountability for their mess up in the way they introduced and promoted utilisation of PAs

The Treasury Committee is reviewing whether the student loan system is fair and wants to hear from doctors and medical students. But you only have a short window to tell them what it’s actually like.
Doctors are often hit harder by student loans due to longer training and delayed earnings.
When responding to the survey, you may want to mention...
• the cost of longer medical training
• interest and repayments early in your career
• the combined impact of loans and tax
• how debt affects morale, retention and progression
The survey closes Tuesday 14 April.

Today I had a conversation with a PA who would love to be able to study medicine. But they are single parent and have a mortgage. Current funding arrangements make it *impossible* for someone in this situation to retrain and become a doctor. This is not ok.
Looking for someone who has studied / is studying graduate entry dentistry BDS (preferably at UCLan) and would be willing to speak to a PA about the course and application process. Please share among networks to see if we can help a PA colleague hoping to change careers.
I agree. Our views will be different. But PAs turned doctors have better insight into the training differences between PAs and doctors and therefore greater insight into what could be considered safe scope for PAs. The common interest should be safe clinical practice.
7) Any PA who wishes to pursue UG med/GEM has our full support and we will help you as we want our former colleagues to succeed.
8) I think we were all sold a dream, universities should cease further PA student recruitment until the future for PAs is more secure.
