Area of Science:

  • Medical Regulation
  • Healthcare Workforce Development
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Physician associates (PAs) are nearing statutory regulation by the General Medical Council (GMC) in 2024.
  • This regulatory change anticipates a consultation on PA prescribing rights.
  • Understanding stakeholder perspectives is crucial for policy development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey the opinions of PAs and healthcare professionals (HCPs) on proposed prescribing rights for PAs.
  • To inform the upcoming consultation regarding the scope and implementation of PA prescribing.
  • To identify factors influencing confidence and safety in PA prescribing.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was distributed to PAs and HCPs working with PAs.
  • Over 500 combined responses were collected and analyzed.
  • Data on preferences for prescribing rights and perceived safety factors were gathered.

Main Results:

  • A significant majority of both PAs and HCPs favor prescribing rights for PAs.
  • PAs expressed a preference for generalized prescribing rights.
  • HCPs recommended specialist-only prescribing rights for PAs.
  • Survey data indicated that confidence, knowledge, and safety in prescribing increase with time in a specialty.

Conclusions:

  • The majority of surveyed PAs and HCPs support PA prescribing rights.
  • A phased approach, including safety assessments and supervised practice, is advocated for safe implementation.
  • Granting prescribing rights can enhance PA independence, efficiency, and patient care.
