The NHS is to rapidly expand the number of Physician Associates roles in hospitals and GP's surgeries - it appears that Physician Associates have been working in the NHS for the past decade. |

No different to being treated by Junior or trainee doctors which happens all the time in teaching hospitals. |

Not sure about this. Someone that I work with went back home for a 2 week holiday. Her little boy became ill. Took him to the doctors in her home country and they said he needed a operation. Said she was due to come back here as she and her hubby were due back to work. They gave her a letter to give to her doctor with blood test results and scan results. She booked a appointment this week with the doctor. She got a physician associates. Said a young girl that did not even want to read the letter and wanted to send him for more blood tests. My friend had to have a row with her and then she took the letter and saw a doctor who said he would refer her to a paediatrician. |

I was quite surprised when I watched the news tonight as the American lady was at my old surgery in Sussex 5/6 years ago.... She was lovely and felt that she cared.... More than can be said for the pillock I now have as a doctor..... |

At my doctors surgery we have a Nurse Practitioner, if I cannot get an appointment with my doctor I will opt to see the Nurse Practitioner, in the past she has done the annual review for my repeat medications, she has carried out examinations and various tests, and when necessary written a prescription for me - albeit sometimes she will check with the doctor first. |

When I first went to my doctors it was the physician associate I saw she was the one who set up the appointments with specialists ect..... Also it was her I saw when I got my diagnosis. |
