So it seems that the @RCPhysicians PA scope of practice document has been leaked to the @Telegraph tonight. Some key take home points: ‘In emergency departments, PAs will no longer be able to diagnose or discharge patients’. ‘PAs must never conduct hospital appointments without a senior, supervising doctor in the clinic’. ‘PAs must never fill in for doctors, prescribe medication, or request x-rays’. A step forward for patient safety by the RCP, which is everyone’s main priority. telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/12/1…
