Original Note:
Physician Associates (PAs) are not “qualified experts in their specialist area”. By definition, PAs are dependent practitioners who must be supervised by a specialist doctor. PAs have short 2yr training in some aspects of medicine, not specialist qualifications. https://www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/nhs-englands-position-on-physician-associates-7-february-2024/
