Abstract

Of 165 PAs and PA students in the United Kingdom in December 2010, 127 (77%) responded to a census survey. PAs work in 19 medical and surgical specialties; experienced PAs are more likely to practice in primary care. Prior to PA training, respondents worked in a wide variety of health professions.
