A tailored combination of clinical placements and innovative teaching will be delivered by PAs, doctors, advanced nurse/clinical practitioners, scientists and researchers.

Physician Associates (PAs) are healthcare professionals, trained in a generalist medical model to deliver care and treatment within hospital and community environments. A PA works independently, under the supervision of a senior doctor, to diagnose, manage and treat a range of patients as part of a multi-disciplinary team. Once qualified, PAs may also develop a specialist area of practice.
Keele’s PA course utilises a diverse range of teaching faculty including PAs, clinicians, scientists and researchers to maximise students’ learning potential. Furthermore, Keele’s placement providers are committed to developing PAs for recruitment into their organisations. Our PA programme is closely affiliated to the North Staffordshire PA Internship Programme and is actively involved with the development of PA education nationally.
