PAs are relatively new to General Practice but can deal with a wide range of conditions. They are independent clinicians who work under the supervision of doctors. They are trained to perform a number of day-to-day tasks, including: 1. Taking medical histories from patients. 2. Performing physical examinations 3. Diagnosing illnesses 4. Seeing patients with long-term chronic conditions 5. Analysing test results 6. Develop management plans 7.
