This portal has been created to allow Physician Associates and Anaesthesia Associates (and aligned colleagues) to record instances of patient safety concerns relating to restrictions on their roles and to assess the overall impact these restrictions may be having on patient care. If you have witnessed or been aware of instances where patients have been harmed, delayed, or disadvantaged as a direct result of restrictions to MAP deployment following the Leng Review, BMA or Royal College guidance – whether through reduced access to care, longer waiting times, missed or cancelled appointments, or any other patient-facing impact – we want to hear from you.
This portal is NOT a substitute for local incident reporting systems and local guidelines and procedures for reporting of safety incidents must still be followed in all circumstances. All submissions must be verifiable. The form is designed to capture all data needed to verify the incident without the sharing of patient identifying information.
Every submission will be handled with the utmost care. The evidence you provide will support UMAPs’ ongoing legal and advocacy work, helping us to demonstrate, with real-world evidence, the true human cost of politically motivated restrictions on a safe, regulated, and valued profession. UMAPs may wish to contact you about the information you have provided.
