Do your research . Wait for the Leng Review result in June and the Anaesthesia United/Emily Chesterton vs GMC court case in May . The title Physician Associate will change to assistant and the National scope will be restrictive . I’d hang fire if I were you . You won’t be able to do what you sign up for .

What is more urgent is that you look at how many jobs there are for Physician Associates.

Now have a think about this. What will you do when you have spent two years doing this course and then can't get a job?

There are more university places at different universities for this course than there are jobs at the end of the course.

If you have missed the deadline you have had a lucky escape and now have time to find a masters course that will increase your chance of a job rather than this one which will just increase your chance of being unemployed.
