In this episode, I'm joined by PA Nana Amoasi who is undertaking a fellowship to look at improving working relationships between physician associates and doctors.

We're joined by Nana's supervisor Dr Jeremy Noble to discuss how best to introduce physician associates into the workforce without disrupting doctor's training, and how best to win over those who are sceptical about physician associates.
