HEE publishes Impact Case Studies for Anaesthesia Associate and Physician Associate roles

The aim of this project was to qualitatively evaluate the impact of PA and AA roles within the system. Yorkshire & Humber Academic Health Science Network (YHAHSN) were commissioned to design, develop and deliver the research approach, and present the findings in the form of case studies.

The case studies illustrate the value and potential of the PA and AA roles as members of a multidisciplinary medical team. Key challenges and priority areas for development are also highlighted which, if addressed, will enable organisations, teams and services to increase the positive impact of these roles.

The project summary and 3 case studies evaluating the impact of PA in Primary and Secondary Care and AA in Secondary Care can be found here Impact Case Studies | Health Education England (hee.nhs.uk)
