What's A Physician Associate? Is It The Same as A Doctor?

In this episode we discuss the recent elevation in status of the Physician Associate. In order to relieve some of the burden on medical centres rather than recruit GP's...... which is not always an easy task in fairness.... the NHS is commited to hiring 10,000 Physician Associates by 2036. But what exactly is a Physician Associate? Are They trained to the same level as a doctor?I'll Know If I've seen one though right? Is this safe?This is a really interesting subject and one that no doubt we'll revisit over time as the Physician Associate role develops.
