All questions are shown as received by the Trust.
1) How many Physician Associates are currently employed by your organisation?
2) Please provide copies of any policies regarding physician associates in your organisation. For example, policies regarding the scope of practice, clinical procedures, governance, supervision and appraisal processes for physician associates.
3) Please provide details of any patient safety incidents (reported via Datix or other internal patient safety reporting systems) where the clinician involved was a Physician Associate. Where possible, please include a breakdown of these incidents by year, severity and categorisation (e.g., department, nature of the incident, patient harm, outcome, organisational response etc). I would like to request all the data you hold regarding patient safety incidents related to physician associates. However, if this is impractical, I request a time limit of 5 years.
