Overview

The Physician Associate Studies degree from Keele University utilises a diverse range of teaching faculty including PAs, other clinicians, scientists and researchers to maximise students’ learning potential. Our PA programme is closely affiliated to the North Staffordshire PA Internship Programme and is actively involved with the development of PA education nationally.

Career opportunities:

A career as a PA can be very diverse and opportunities are opening up in our local Trusts to facilitate this. We work very closely with our health care providers to review and develop PA roles and career progression locally.

Programme Structure

Areas taught in this first year include cardiology, respiratory, gastroenterology, endocrinology, GU and renal, neurology, eyes and ENT and MSK.

These theoretical blocks of study commence with the anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology relevant to that clinical area. The clinical examination, assessment and procedural skills are taught, alongside a range of clinical conditions relevant to that block of study, with their presentation, investigation, diagnosis and management.
Entwined in all of this, the concepts of professionalism, communication, and ethical concepts of clinical practice are taught, alongside academic writing and development skills.
