Monday 4 October 2021
This week, 4 – 8 October, we are celebrating PA Week UK.
Here at TEWV, our PAs (physician associates) support patients in our adult and older people inpatient wards.
Our PAs are involved in many areas of patient care including taking medical histories, performing risk assessments, carrying out mental health reviews, providing psychological wellbeing interventions, reviewing and managing physical health concerns, analysing test results such as blood tests and electrocardiograms (ECG), diagnosing illnesses under the direct supervision of a doctor, and planning patients’ discharge from the ward.
During the week we’ll meet some of our PAs on our social media channels to find out what makes them ‘PA and Proud’.
