  • Physician Associate episodes

    I found this podcast as a means of learning about the Physician Associate role in the U.K. I am a Physician Assistant in the US, with hopes of moving to the U.K. While I haven't listened to all of the episodes, I found the episodes #40, 43, and 52 regarding Physician Associates to be extremely valuable. I appreciate the information given, as well as the interview with GP Joanna Munden regarding her PA and how the PA functions.

    Thank you, Ben, for a wonderful podcast! I will continue listening... more

Podcast – Tom Holdsworth – The NHS England PCN Pilot Scheme: One PCN's Experience So Far
Q: Do you find that the focus for PCN CDs has over time, shifted less from the practices in the PCN as infrastructure has built up, and you've had other clinical leads who've been able to take on roles within the PCN?
Yes, that's right. The focus has indeed shifted more towards external relationships and clinical needs.
