About this episode

We explore honest thoughts and potential implications of changing the Physician Associate title to Physician Assistant.We would love to be able to explain how this will improve patient safety and lessen "confusion" around the role, but there really isn't any evidence to support that.Our guest, Nana, demonstrates excellent clarity of thought. Despite that, we still wonder how on earth rebranding regulated, masters qualified clinicians as "assistants" makes any sense at all. Enjoy.Listen with discretion.Insta: seventynine.podAlso find us on Linkedin - Seventy Nine Percent PodcastEmail: notyourassistant@seventyninepercent.co.uk
