Physician associate and medical students in NHS Grampian will wear the same uniforms. Doctor's say this will further blur the lines between the two roles pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/politics/65…

Our new College guidance for GP practices employing Physician Associates is now available. This does not change our policy position that we oppose a role for PAs within general practice. However, we recognise that many practices already employ PAs and our guidance aims to give clarity and support to GPs and employers working with them and managing these roles. It includes Scope of Practice, Supervision, and Induction and Preceptorship to ensure safe and effective practice. You can find them on our website. rcgp.org.uk/representing-y… The principles set out in the College’s red lines, originally agreed in 2017 and reinforced at our March 2024 Council meeting, remain in place. #red-lines" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">rcgp.org.uk/representing-y…
