✍️ An independent review recommends renaming physician associates (PAs) and anaesthesia associates (AAs) to avoid patient confusion, and implementing standardized clothing and badges to distinguish them from doctors.
👉 PAs and AAs should be renamed to avoid patient confusion 👉 Standardized clothing and badges should be implemented to distinguish PAs and AAs from doctors 👉 PAs and AAs should only see patients in limited circumstances 👉 PAs and AAs should have at least two years' hospital experience before working in a GP surgery or mental health trust 👉 PAs and AAs should be part of a team led by a senior doctor
