In addition, NHS England has produced patient-facing materials that have been shared widely with general practices to support patient awareness and understanding of the role.</p><p> </p><p>The introduction of regulation by the GMC will provide a standardised framework of governance and assurance for the clinical practice and professional conduct of PAs and make it easier for employers, patients, and the public to understand the relationship between this role and that of doctors.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 28/11/2023 12:28:46 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
