Nurses split over physician assistants
Article Abstract:
Medical care practioners (MCPs) or physician assistants will be trained in each strategic health authority in a scheme which aims to standardize the development of medical support roles. The plan has created fears that nurses will be lured away from nursing roles and RCN will be pressing the government to put further resources into nurse practitioner roles at the same time as bringing in the new MCPs.
