Physician Associate Preceptorship Programme – Primary Care

This NSH England initiative is designed to support newly qualified physician associates (PA) and physician associates who have less than two years’ primary care experience to start/develop their careers working in a supported and structured environment.

The aims include:

  • recognising that newly/recently qualified PAs need time and support to develop within the multidisciplinary clinical team,

  • providing employers with financial assistance to support newly/recently qualified PAs,

  • maximising the benefit of the PAs role within primary care.

Following substantive appointment of a PA in primary care, the employer will enable the PA to join the NHS England PA training programme. This will involve ½ day release from clinical duties per week for educational activities, part of which will be accomplished by the PA attending the NHS England PA 30-week structured teaching programme that will run on Thursday mornings. In addition, the employer should ensure the provision of structured supervision time within the practice.
