Detours on the 'patient journey'

01 Mar 2010

Forget QOF, home visits and actually seeing patients. This year Copperfield will be mainly 'preparing for revalidation'

Do any of the other non cardigan wearing and no sandles cynical b's like me think this smells of RCGP empire building?
Any bets on the proliferation of expensive courses being offered, at a discount to RCGP members only? anthony roberts

Agree re empire building of RCGP. We have the crazy situation where we are measured on how much the patients love us but it is perfectly OK that we cannot interpret an ECG. Let's do the MCQ and forget the rest. Huw Williams

After 50y of practice, realize that doctors' talents are wasted in GPs which can be easily done by nurse practitioners and physician assistants, even advanced first aiders. Copperfield's complaints about time-wasting medical trivia could be easily cured by going into admin or insurance medicine. MD/MBA, MD/LLB.& MD/PhD qualifications are now being offered in many North American Universities.

Where is former GMC head Sir Donald Irvine CBE-the chief architect of revalidation - when you want him?

Surely the profession would wish to give him the accolade he deserves for delivering quality assurance that the RCGP grandees (sorry 'patients') were demanding after Bristol and Shipman. Stephen Hayes
