Welcome back to the MDTea Podcast! Today on Episode 5 we’re looking into the exciting world of physician associates, and learning about the many ways they help the hospital team when it comes to looking after older patients. Physician associates first appeared in the UK in 2003, and have been growing in number since then. Nowadays, most hospitals have them working on the wards where they review patients, initiate treatments, formulate management plans, have discussions with patients and their families, perform practical procedures, take on leadership roles and lots more!
We caught up with James, Hamed, Mira and Lindsay to hear all about their own experiences in the role, and to find out why they think it’s such a brilliant job. One thing that’s mentioned in the episode is James’ own podcast, The Physician Associate Podcast. You can find him @PAPodcastUK on Twitter. If you’re keen to find out more about the PA profession, it’s well worth a listen!
As usual, we’ll be dipping into Jean’s story and finding out where she’s got to in her hospital journey. We’ll also be chatting through what’s leapt out at us on social media over the past few weeks and setting a new, cryptic #MDTeaser! There’s an exclusive mug for the first person to answer it correctly, so make sure you get in early! You can find us on Facebook, Twitter (@mdtea_podcast) or Instagram (@mdteapodcast), and our website is www.mdteapodcast.co.uk. See you all soon!
