"... little evidence supporting the safety & efficacy of physician associates (PAs) & anaesthetists associates (AAs) in the UK..."

"As a senior doctor is needed to oversee & check the work of PAs & AAs, this model may be more expensive than employing doctors."

"The absence of reported safety incidents in research studies does not mean they do not occur"

Study led by Profs Trisha Greenhalgh & Martin McKee.

Back in March, the Royal College of Physicians did a survey about "Physician Associates", non-doctors who work in medical settings.

Then they had an EGM where the survey results were presented in a biased way.

Now there's an independent report about that EGM, which I found quite interesting. (Process-geekery! Governance! Bad stats!)

This is the most important legal case in healthcare this century….the GMC is making it harder for you to see a qualified doctor & refusing to define the scope of #PhysicianAssociates

Interesting.
In the UK, Australia and NZ findings against Drs and sanctions are freely available online.
In those countries what you don’t know about your Doctor is often that they’re not a doctor
