Doctors concerns about patient safety are being ignored. A recent study conducted by Oxford University has concluded that there is little evidence demonstrating that physician associates are safe to work in the NHS, or that they improve patient care. Despite that, NHS bodies and the government continue to push forward with the nationwide rollout of PAs, without first having assessed the impact. This is no individual PAs fault, and they have been taken advantage of by a failing system. However, we must ensure patients are kept safe, which is why we need national guidelines and safety checks. Patients must always come first. telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/03…
