We have currently have 4 Physician Associates based across practices within the PCN.

Physician Associates can carry out many of the activities a doctor can, but work under their supervision

They are trained in a range of areas such as:

• Take histories
• Examine patients
• Order and interpret investigations
• Make referrals
• Recommend treatments

PAs cannot currently prescribe or order ionizing treatment (although this is set to change in the future)
