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

…and much more.
