<p>Physician Associates have been part of the National Health Service workforce for
a number of years. They are an important part of clinical teams across the NHS, providing
support to thousands of patients every day, under the supervision of doctors.</p><p>The
Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme provides funding for a number of additional
roles, including Physician Associates, to help create bespoke, multi-disciplinary
teams. All these roles are in place to assist general practice (GP) doctors in reducing
their workload and assisting patients directly with their needs, allowing doctors
to focus on more complex patients and other priorities, including continuity of care.
Physician Associates work alongside GPs and the wider practice team to provide care
as part of the multidisciplinary team.</p>
