I can’t claim to speak on behalf of all acute medics but I remain convinced that ACPs and PAs are vital to the future (and present!) of the specialty. They improve not only the care we offer patients but the training we offer FYs and IMTs.

Great to see some Physician Associate research at the Health Services Research conference in amongst lots of other great stuff!
Here's my poster about widening participation, if you're around today or tomorrow please swing by for a chat :) #HSRUK22 #PhysicianAssociate

The #RegulatePAsNow survey for PAs seems to be going under the radar. It was sent out with recent email update but can't see any chatter about it. #physicianassociate

We are very pleased to welcome a new manikin to our ever growing simulation family here at UHD. Sim Baby from Laerdal has so many great features and will help to add that extra level of fidelity for our simulation participants. youtu.be/iSTHQ0tXKJY

Please share to let as many people as possible what’s happening and how fast it’s happening. @Bournemouthecho
