Association statement on the review of physician and anaesthesia associates

21 November 2024

The Association of Anaesthetists welcomes the announcement of an independent review of physician associates and anaesthesia associates. There are many questions around both roles which remain unresolved, including the scopes of practice they will work to, how supervision will work, the impact of MAP roles on the training of resident doctors and the legal liabilities of supervisors. We hope that the review will address these issues as a minimum. We look forward to contributing to the review.
