What to tell us when you apply guide for physician associates and anaesthesia associates
This guide will help you work out whether you need to tell us about something on your application for registration.
It covers:
- health conditions
- cautions and convictions
- fixed penalty notices and penalty notices for disorder
- action taken against you by a course provider or employer
- clinical negligence and medical negligence claims.
What does it do?
This guide contains a section for each question we ask on your application. It gives you information for your circumstances and helps you find out what to tell us when you answer questions about your health and fitness to practise on your application.
This guide also tells you what extra information you need to give us based on your situation. It doesn't tell you what documents or evidence related to your practice you need to send us. For example, your physician associate (PA) or anaesthesia associate (AA) qualification or a Certificate of Current Professional Status (CCPS).
We expect you to use your judgement when you apply this guide to decide whether to tell us something. But just because you tell us about something doesn’t mean we won’t approve your application.
