The @TheBMA recognises the risks Physician Associates pose. This is mirrored in the number of potential litigation claims. Watch our video to find out more #physicianassociates #patientsafety #safehealthcare #DataDriven
Our GP committee has passed a motion stating the role of Physician Associates in general practice is fundamentally unsafe. They are calling for an immediate stop to PAs managing undifferentiated patients with a longer term phasing out of the role entirely. https://t.co/QXu45UqCLX
