PA’s should be abolished anyhow, doctors or nurses nothing in between.

Don’t worry. A Redditor told me it was a good thing immigrants are now 80% of the NHS.

They can join the out of work doctors as well where there aren’t enough training posts for doctors to progress, and not enough GP jobs as GP surgeries are getting incentives to hire PA/ACPs instead.

Well that’s something I suppose. The PA role is a dangerous way to save money on properly training Doctors. It’s a shame the role wasn’t used as it was initially intended. I don’t want some PA in charge of my anaesthetic, thank you.

One of my cousins got this degree and got work right away. She’s Welsh.

The number of degrees is always increasing, with new job promises and brilliant futures, but it’s just business—‘Education Business.’
Still, the job prospects for people with medical careers in the UK are rigged because the NHS controls 80% of the health market.

*“We felt an indispensable part of the team wherever we worked…”*
Why does this article exist then?

I think articles like this are slightly misleading. It’s not a “2 year degree” it’s a 3 year undergraduate followed by a 2 year graduate PA program, OR a 4 year integrated masters program. So 4-5 years, not 2.
