RCP publishes submission to the independent review of the physician associate profession (the Leng review)

It’s time for a BIG change at the College to repair the damage, restore the workforce, rebuild the standards & re-establish reputation #VoteAsifQasim

I have promoted @drasifqasim.bsky.social to my colleagues for RCP president. Innovative, driven and engaged, all interactions I’ve had with him have been positive and he was generous in his support when I looked to him for advice whilst still a trainee. This is the kind of person RCP needs.

Medlife Crisis (Rohin)@medcrisis.bsky.social · 2y ago

I am also backing @drasifqasim.bsky.social, whom I’ve known for quite a few years now and have been deeply impressed with his efforts to effect change within the RCP and our profession. I believe he really cares about improving medicine in the UK and representing College members’ views
