A patient seeing a Physician Associate

A Physician Associates support doctors in the diagnosis and management of patients. Like GPs, physician associates can take medical histories, carry out physical examinations and develop and deliver treatment and management plans. They cannot currently prescribe medication or refer patients for X-rays or CT scans. 
 
A detailed explanation of a Physician's Associate is available on the NHS website.
