The BMA

We’re the trade union and professional body for UK doctors and medical students.

In an increasingly hostile world, it’s imperative that the principle of medical neutrality is upheld, ensuring that doctors and healthcare workers in conflict zones can continue to provide care without coming under attack. We back this WMA declaration.

Plans to allow PAs to see undifferentiated patients and expect resident doctors to supervise are irresponsible and poorly evidenced.

Writing in the BMJ, our council chair @tomdolphin.bsky.social has set out the sorry story behind these baffling plans: www.bmj.com/content/395/...

Graphic featuring a quote from Dr Tom Dolphin, Chair of UK Council, BMA: “The public deserve to know how the front door of the health service is being remodelled.” The quote appears above a blurred hospital scene showing a patient in a hospital bed in the foreground and healthcare staff in the background.

Despite the BMA advocating for a full, public consultation, the DHSC has limited responses to stakeholder organisations including royal colleges. So make sure your voice is heard – follow the link to find the contact details for your college.

The BMA has written to Professor Leng objecting to draft clinical protocols permitting physician assistants to see patients who have not been assessed by a doctor.

Today the BMA resident doctors committee elected Dr Callum Parr as chair, taking over from Dr Jack Fletcher. He said: "I am going to lead a committee that listens to its members, builds on our current strength and organises so that we are never taken for granted." 1/2

When resident doctors come together, we can create real change. From pay and jobs to the everyday costs of being a doctor, here’s what we’ve achieved together this year.

If used appropriately, can AI help with our administrative burdens? At the International Conference on Physician Health, the closing keynote panel looked at what we need AI to be to really help reduce the strain on clinicians.

At the International Conference on Physician Health colleagues from around the world to came together, supported each other, and shared data and personal stories. It's through this supportive networking that we can effect real change.
