The Physician Associate Podcast James Catton

Thanks for listening to the Physician Associate Podcast. It's been 3 years now since I launched the podcast, and I'm really proud to have gone over 100 episodes and 50,000 downloads!

Thanks for all of your kind messages about the show.

If you have time, please leave a review on your podcasts app about the show to help spread the word, so that more people can find out about the Physician Associate profession.

Please tell your friends, family and colleagues about the podcast so that together we can highlight all the amazing things PAs are doing!

I'm going to take a few weeks off releasing new episodes to enjoy Christmas - but if you have any ideas that would make great episodes for next season, please do get in touch!

Thanks,

James

For #PAweek2023, I was hosted on the General Practice Podcast by Ben Gowland. Ben was the inspiration for me setting up the PA podcast, and he's been very supportive in helping behind the scenes.

It was lovely to speak to Ben about the current issues facing the PA profession, and how things might develop in the future.
