Queen Mary Physician Associate Jan 2025 entry

Hello all! I’m planning to apply for January 2025 intake, the applications open in May so very very soon. Does anyone know when they give interviews out? From the few threads I’ve read from a few years ago, interviews are given out in November and offers in December, is this how it is every year, even if you apply as early as May? Just seems really short notice given the course starts in January😅

I believe, this is to see how many will drop out due to accepting offers with other universities for September start. Applications in May, will also include those students who have also applied via UCAS.

I considered it too but it’s difficult because you have to first secure a job from an NHS trust before applying for the apprenticeship. I’ve been looking on the nhs job site for months but haven’t been able to find any PA training roles

Is it any job? You could be a healthcare assistant in the NHS to meet the requirements

I don’t think so, there are specific nhs job listings for the PA apprenticeship. Usually they’ll be called “PA student apprentice” I came across some last year. I don’t know much about it though so I could be wrong

Hi there, I have it on good authority that their Masters PA Apprenticeship scheme won't run until 2026. If you interested, get in touch with the Apprenticeship Team at QM for details.

Thank you so much for replying. Have you booked your Casper exam? Or do they tell you to book it? I have applied as well but not sure if I can book the exam by myself?

Yes I booked it myself, I can’t remember the exact date it’s held but it’s in Mid August! It cost around £33, you can book it via the acuity insights website
