**** Staffordshire Physician Associate Internship – International Forum, Copenhagen, April 2020 ****
We are pleased to hear that the Staffordshire Physician Associate Internship Programme(led by North Staffordshire GP Federation and project managed by Lucy Minshull at Howbeck Healthcare), continues in the International spotlight. The key findings from the evaluation of the Staffordshire Physician Associate Internship have been accepted for a poster presentation at the International Forum on Quality and Safety in Healthcare in Copenhagen in April 2020.
Dr Lizzie Cottrell, a local GP at Wolstanton Medical Centre and the lead evaluator, is delighted as this is an important and hot topic in primary care at the moment. Physician Associates are not as established in some parts of Europe, so it is excellent to spread the news internationally about what we are learning about Physician Associates in primary care and to keep the successful Staffordshire Physician Associate Internship programme in the spotlight.
