Due to the recommendations of the Leng Review, published on 16th July 2025 we are currently awaiting further guidance on the proposed name change for PAs and AAs. Therefore, until further notice we will refer to the role as Associate/Assistant on our webpages.

Please be mindful that it may be possible to access cached versions of our webpages and therefore you may notice inconsistent terminology on these. We would advise refreshing the page and/or accessing it via an alternative browser.
