- I've kept a wee secret for a while now but tonight is my last shift before I become a DAD! @_LauraBell91 and I are expecting our first child anytime and are very excited. Got 2 wonderful hampers from my colleagues at @NCICNHS's Hospital at Night team ππ€°π»πΌ

- Replying to @DanielSherretThe Doctors Assistant role is Agenda for Change Band 3. NOT a Physician Associate. They assist the teams by preping ward round documents, making and chasing referrals, ordering bloods (requested by teams). Their clinical skills are limited to venuputure and cannulation. (2/3)

- Replying to @DanielSherretAll this eases the pressures for Foundation Doctors, which allows them to attend training, theatre, clinics etc without having an impact on patient care whilst enhancing their development. Drs Assistants have a clear scope of practice (3/3)
