Physician Associate

What is a Physician Associate?

A Physician Associate is a medically-trained healthcare professional who works as part of the multi-disciplinary team in a GP practice, under the supervision of a GP.

Physician Associates work in a similar way to GPs and can:

• Assess, manage and treat patients with acute and long-term or chronic conditions

• Carry out physical examinations

• Carry out telephone consultations

• Request and interpret tests

• Help with disease management
