UK: update on PA and AA regulation
Date postedOctober 16, 2024
The General Medical Council has given an update on progress and upcoming milestones in the regulation for physician associates (PAs) and anaesthesia associates (AAs) by December 2024. This move aims to enhance safety and accountability within the healthcare sector by ensuring these roles are subject to the same standards as doctors. PAs and AAs will soon be required to join a formal register, adhere to professional standards, and undergo fitness-to-practice assessments under the GMC's supervision.
