**Clinical Responsibilities**: East Park Medical Centre will be operating a Tier-Based Delivery of Care, with their patients being segmented into 3 Tiers 1, 2 and 3. Physician Associates will be expected to help deliver care to each of these tiers on a rota basis. Tier 1 represents those patients with the lowest physiological risk factors for illness and no other significant or combinations of chronic health problems. The Physician Associate (PA) will be part of a multidisciplinary team comprised of GPs, Nurse Practitioners, Advanced Clinical Practitioners, Paramedics and Pharmacists.
