Regulation must not blur the lines between doctors and non-doctors.
We’ve written to the GMC following the Leng review 👇
We've also been granted permission to appeal our judicial review case against the GMC. The court says our appeal raises important issues for public safety.

Disappointing outcome, but time to look at next steps - but raising these important issues regarding clarity of terminology and practice is still the right choice. Patients deserve clarity in knowing who they are treated by, and GMC continue to blur the lines.
BMA are considering next steps after a disappointing ruling from the High Court in our case against the GMC for blurring the lines between doctors and physician associates.

We need to continue to hold the line in our workplaces for the sake of patient safety. NMRs and employers need to follow due process. #BMA #medicine
