I’d like to know what a ‘significant’ number is, and how reliable is the data.
The actions of someone who hasn’t a clue how to be effective.

Yes, it'll be one of their private services

I think the quality of the consultation is key. There's definite benefit in a face-to-face one where the person is unknown to the clinician

That shouldn't be linked to the 'pharmacy first' messaging 🤔

Yes. I just like to see a few interesting things and have a chat. It is mostly broadcasting (the agenda) and passive/aggressive rants 😐

I didn't fancy it! There was a lot of dry flour. It went down well with the jackdaws and magpies 👍🏻

I think medical doctors have a valid argument to restrict courtesy use of the title. I note that at least one further education org awards a ‘doctorate in chiropractic’ for a bachelor level degree. Inappropriate.

One thought. Clearly all these professions jumping on the ‘courtesy doctor title’ bandwagon didn’t do a meaningful impact assessment

It’s a courtesy title (as it is for medical doctors without a PhD). I think use is increasing to demonstrate standing, especially internationally where Dr is routinely used

(I don't believe that 'anyone' can legitimately call themselves Dr).
The problem is people implying they're a professional (registered nurse) by calling themselves a nurse. I think it would be problematic to make nurse = registered nurse because of other roles that include 'nurse'

I don’t think there’s any confusion with dentists titled Dr. If I visit a dental hospital or a dental practice I know I’m seeing a dental surgeon

Anyone where a degree permits them to use the title Dr

I find grids 1 and ,partly, 2 are the problem as luck features heavily in the guess and the immediate outcome (like getting the vowels and there’s numerous possibilities for the word). If I get beyond 2 without crashing out I usually do quite well on the later grids

I don’t see why they can’t if they’re entitled to, particularly outside healthcare clinical practice. Within healthcare, it’s the lack of clarity about who’s qualified to do what coupled to the use of Dr that’s the problem, especially for patients.

If it’s clear what the profession is and they’re legitimately entitled to use Dr, then actually there shouldn’t be a problem. Anyone calling themselves Dr who isn’t is a fraud

Yes. The practical problem is when information for or introduction to patients isn’t clear as to the exact profession or prof category of the HCP. I think other HCPs can find this out for themselves and not make assumptions 😏
