Original Note:
In the linked explanation SGUL defines PAs as 'essential' to UK healthcare. PAs must be directly supervised by a doctor. https://www.fparcp.co.uk/about-fpa/news/faculty-of-physician-associates-ensuring-safe-and-effective-integration-of-physician-associates-into-the-clinical-workforce This supervision is a legal requirement and in a 2017 court case identified as a failing if not direct. https://www.pulsetoday.co.uk/analysis/gmc-case-in-focus/gmc-case-in-focus-how-gps-should-supervise-pas/ PAs are not essential. They are additional.
