The BMA has called for an independent inquiry into the use of physician associates in hospitals to replace doctors on medical rotas. They are urging the government to investigate how widespread this practice is in England and how it has been allowed to happen. The BMA has requested the health and social care secretary to take action to end this practice. This call comes after reports of gaps in medical rotas being filled by physician associates and a recent investigation by the Telegraph revealing evidence of this trend.
