Qualified PAs are registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) and work under defined levels of supervision in either primary or secondary care. PAs are an integral member of the multidisciplinary team and of the NHS workforce.
The course draws on our considerable excellence in medical training and access to state-of-the-art facilities.
The course is taught by trained PAs, doctors, specialist nurses, physiotherapists and academics.
This course would suit those with a minimum of an upper second-class degree from a bioscience discipline or from a health care background.
