We train Physician Associates to deliver confident, compassionate care, working as part of teams in hospitals, primary care and community settings. On successful completion of this programme, you will be eligible to sit the National Licensing Examination to gain entry into the profession.

Physician Associates provide crucial support to doctors, and work as part of multi-disciplinary teams in the diagnosis and management of patients. While still a relatively new profession in the NHS, numbers of Physician Associates are increasing across the UK, and with that comes the recognition of the vital role they play in delivering high quality care. This is supported by professional regulation of Physician Associates by the General Medical Council.
