In December 2024, the GMC will start regulating physician associates (PAs) and anaesthesia associates (AAs). The GMC consultation on proposed rules, standards and guidance that set out how GMC will regulate anaesthesia associates (AAs) and physician associates (PAs) is now open.

GMC welcome responses from public, patient representative groups, and any other individuals or organisations who are likely to be affected by, or use, GMC processes governing the regulation of AAs and PAs.

The consultation, runs for eight weeks until midnight on the night of Monday 20 May.
