THIS EPISODE: As a Doctor do you have concerns about the impact of Physician Associates on you, and on patient safety? Or do you welcome their contributions?

As a PA are you a welcome part of the team and well supported?

As an AHP or Nurse, can you relate to some of the tensions that exist between the professions?

This is the FIRST HALF of a discussion in which hosts Munir Adam (the GP) and Marium Hanif (the PA) explore the PA role and upcoming PA regulation by the GMC 2024. With input from Stephen Nash, they discuss experiences on the ground, the variety of concerns: Training, pay disparity, supervision, competing roles, and more.

Special thanks to Stephen Nash, Physician Associate and Founder at UMAPs Limited (United Medical Associate Professionals).
