Lastly, I believe there there is no-one who would make a better RCP Vice President than @drlkvaughan.bsky.social.

And for RCP Council? @copddoc.bsky.social, @respirologist.bsky.social & @drbarrymonk1.bsky.social are leaders of huge ability & integrity. They'd be my votes (if only members had one..)

For Council, I think we need fearless challenge from:
@copddoc.bsky.social
@drbarrymonk1.bsky.social
…oh, and me, if you’d like to vote for me…!

The behaviour of the @rcphysicians.bsky.social has been a disgrace, not in keeping with Good Medical Practice.

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.

Doctors sue GMC over physician’s associates row The doctors’ union claims patient safety is being put at risk by a β€˜blurring’ of the lines between doctors and PAs

How on earth did the β€˜Independent regulator of Doctors’ get sucked into this mess?

One they stopped being independent
Second they failed their responsibility for patient safety
Third the so called leaders have failed everyone
