Physician Associate

The Physician Associate role is new to Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust, & we are excited to start this new journey and appoint 4 qualified physician associates to work in the Medicine Division. This includes Acute Medicine/ Emergency Medicine & General Medicine.

Applicants will be required to register on the Faculty of Physician Associates (FPA) Managed Voluntary Register (FPMVR) before commencement of employment.

Additionally, they must hold, or will do so on completion, a PG Diploma in Physician Associate Studies from a recognised University & have passed the UK Physician Associate National Exam, or equivalent for internationally trained applicants.

Physician Associates (PAs) will be a new but important part of the team. They will work alongside the Consultants, junior doctors & be supported by ENPs, ACPs, nursing staff, Clinical Matrons & the Operational Service Manager. It is expected that they will be a valued and integral part of the team. There will be always Consultant and/or registrar support and supervision.

We have enjoyed hosting PA students for the last two years & look forward to welcoming the skills they bring. PAs will be encouraged to take part in audits & research & be expected to attend regular departmental teaching. You will become a key member of a team delivering high quality care, directly involved in improving patient experience and ensuring patient flow.
