The Physician Associates (Regulation) Bill would create a formal framework to regulate physician associates in the UK and would make the title 'physician associate' a protected designation. In short, it aims to set professional standards, ensure oversight, and raise accountability for PAs who work in healthcare.
The Bill is at the Second Reading in the Commons. If it passes this stage, it would move on to detailed scrutiny in committee and subsequent readings before becoming law.
