A positive move, particularly for high load students like Medics, who are challenged to balance the demands of study and work to make up financial shortfall.

I wrote to Humza Yousaf when he was CS for Health, and welcomed his response stating this change would be implemented.

To the biology teacher who called “thick” & “simple” in front of my class - this one’s for you.

Since then, I’ve graduated a Russell Group uni, been the youngest director of an NHS Board in the UK, published research & I’m training to be a doctor. Hope that’s simple enough!😃

Today, we’ve launched our public consultation about the rules, standards and guidance needed to implement the regulation of physician associates (PAs) and anaesthesia associates (AAs).

Legislation has been passed for us to regulate PAs and AAs. We’re now consulting on proposals…

I share concerns being raised about physician associates being used inappropriately to substitute, rather than support, doctors.

I’m also concerned by the toxic political debate online that is leading to bullying of PAs.

This has got to stop - on both counts.
