Dr Rob Hendry, Chief Member Officer of Medical Protection, will share insights from the UK’s approach, while Ms Sarah Dalton, Executive Director of the Association of Salaried Medical Specialists, and Dr Lucy Gibberd, Medicolegal Consultant at Medical Protection NZ, will discuss the potential impact in New Zealand.

Doctors, unions, and colleges in New Zealand have voiced concerns about the Government’s push to regulate Physician Assistants (PAs), citing potential risks to patient safety. This interactive webinar will explore these concerns and draw on lessons from the UK's experience with PA regulation.

Join us for an interactive session with expert insights and the chance to ask questions about the future of PA regulation and its implications for healthcare.
