Crynodeb

The Physician Associate posts support a team of consultants, junior doctors and nursing staff and therapists within each department. The post holder must hold a
science-related degree prior to graduating from an established UK Physician Associate Training
programme, which follows the Department of Health’s Competence Curriculum Framework,
has successfully passed the UK National Physician Associate Examination and is registered with the Managed Voluntary Register for Physician Associates and /or GMC. Consideration will be given to
appropriately qualified Physician Associates from other countries as well.
This is an innovative idea to give newly qualified or more experienced Physician Associates the chance to work for 1 year or more to put into practice the knowledge and skills they have
acquired in their training. Although this is a neuroscience group there is a lot of acute general medicine available to further PA training. The PAs will rotate through Stroke, Neurology and Rehabilitation. They will
have Educational Supervision and an appraisal at the end of the year. The emphasis will be on ensuring the basic clinical and management skills will be put into practice but there will also be a lot of subspecialty learning available too.
• To provide expert assistance to the consultant physicians and specialist registrars in the provision of a
high quality service to patients in the neurology department including neurosurgery and rehabilitation
• The Physician Associate role is being developed to work alongside the department’s doctors.
• The Physician Associate may be asked to rotate to different departments within neuroscience to
provide a wide range of clinical experience, improve their overall skill and ability and the service they
provide to the departments.
• Physician Associates will represent the department at local and external meetings as appropriate.
