The General Medical Council (GMC) has issued common questions regarding regulating physician associates and anaesthesia associates.
On its website, the GMC wrote:
Physician associates (PAs) and anaesthesia associates (AAs) play a key role as part of multi-disciplinary teams in a range of healthcare settings.
The four UK governments have asked the GMC to regulate these professionals. We’re awaiting the change in the law which will allow this to happen.
We regularly receive questions about these roles and their upcoming regulation. This guide answers the ones we’re asked most frequently.
Topics include:
- What are PAs and AAs?
- Regulation of PAs and AAs
- Standards PAs and AAs will be held to
- Fitness to practise of PAs and AAs
- Education for PAs and AAs
