1/3 Late next year we’ll be welcoming physician associates and anaesthesia associates into regulation. Regulation will help to increase the contribution they can make to UK healthcare, while keeping patients safe.
Clearly some really big issues here, but PAs are not 'less qualified' staff. PAs are qualified to be PAs. Concern here is appropriate scope and supervision. Not a reflection on PAs. Headline is disengenious and masks real issues of privitisation @FPARCP

Can anyone explain, please, why NHS are wearing surgical masks for droplet protection when FFP2 masks are designed for aerosol transmission - which is what Covid is all about? Is it why 19,000 NHS staff are off sick @CNOEngland @trishgreenhalgh what am I missing?
The under funding for the PA course is a absolute joke. Iv lasted 8 months with hardly working but I physically cannot afford to keep putting £80-90 of petrol in my car just to travel to placement every week and not be working and have absolutely no grant or loan. Rant over. ✌️
Month 5 of the PA MSc and we are starting our 9th topic of medicine today.... how have we completed over half of the theory side already? Time is flying🤯 #pastudent
