The General Medical Council regulates doctors, anaesthesia associates (AAs) and physician associates (PAs) in the United Kingdom. They set standards, hold a register, quality assure education and investigate complaints.
The GMC began to regulate PAs and AAs from 13 December 2024. This change was introduced through legislation called the Anaesthesia Associates and Physician Associates Order (AA and PA Order). The decision to regulate AAs and PAs was made by the Government.
We review the performance of the General Medical Council each year. We give our report to Parliament and publish our report on our website. We also review every decision made by the regulator's final fitness to practise panels. We include recent cases on this page. See more cases.
