a good morgan the colleague an that exhaust knowledge and
00:00:06
and it's very nice to be and and many points defend for the invitation to come
00:00:13
what i'd like to do is just start by setting the scene as to why
00:00:17
it is important for us to consider it some new rules in health care
00:00:23
why it is important for us to look at how we need demand in the future
00:00:29
this particular code is something that i came across in two
00:00:32
thousand and twelve and really sets the scene for today
00:00:39
if we simply think about doing the same as we're doing uh
00:00:44
the same as we did it the twentieth century into the twenty first century
00:00:49
problems it's going to be impossible to meet the needs of or populations
00:00:55
it would require us to train and educate an impossible number of doctors
00:01:02
so we have to do something different when you look at the top ten
00:01:07
global priorities for the world health organisation
00:01:12
the first to talk about growth
00:01:16
we talk about growth and life expectancy which
00:01:20
will increase by an average an average
00:01:24
the five years between two thousand two thousand fifteen that's not that's happened
00:01:32
and that's the fastest growth that we've seen since like the sixties globally
00:01:38
but we also see is the global health a life expectancy at bar of
00:01:48
is estimated to be almost sixty to use sixty three one use
00:01:54
no that's the standing as an average global life expectancy
00:01:59
now that would be wonderful
00:02:02
if we were able to say that all of these populations will live while
00:02:09
as we go we hope that we will love well but we want we will live longer but we would necessarily but well
00:02:17
and the cost of global health care is escalating exponentially
00:02:22
so this slide here is and trillions of us dollars
00:02:28
and you can see the growth from ninety five to the projected growth in twenty twenty to is i watch right
00:02:36
and we have to respond in terms of how we're going to provide health care
00:02:43
so going back to how we age and how we are going to live our lives going feature
00:02:51
according to the united nations the population of the world is going to grow
00:02:57
by one billion people by twenty twenty five of my masters correct
00:03:05
that's seven years away
00:03:10
and off that billion people
00:03:13
three hundred million they're expected to be people aged over sixty five and older
00:03:20
interesting thing according to the broker bookings in stitches
00:03:25
that is also shown to be a growth in the middle classes like most
00:03:31
of us we fit into that category are expanding a few inches
00:03:38
and with that and better lives comes more exposure to things like diabetes and
00:03:47
heart disease all the things that we know that are a negative
00:03:52
about drawing drawing um richness and growing population the middle classes
00:04:02
so that means that the squeeze on healthcare becomes even more important
00:04:08
and we have to ask them to use questions about how do we do this do we do with the typical model that we've had
00:04:15
over the centuries of doctors doctoring nurses nursing and allied health professionals
00:04:22
providing that care to our patient population or to do something different
00:04:30
this is our in two thousand thirteen a breakdown of global medical coverage
00:04:37
per ten thousand population so in europe it looks quite good thirty two point
00:04:42
one how doctors per ten thousand and africa it looks pretty awful
00:04:48
and part of that all phone less as our needs to draw doctors
00:04:53
away from africa to come work in europe and america um
00:04:58
and i can still clasped britain is part of your for now at least until next year
00:05:05
uh but the global population of doctors is thirteen point nine doctors
00:05:10
per ten thousand population that is not a great ratio
00:05:15
so we've got to do something different
00:05:18
we think if i go back aside this is great thirty two point one doctors per ten thousand
00:05:24
but the projected shortfall of doctors in europe is going to
00:05:28
be in the region of two hundred and thirty
00:05:32
thousand
00:05:35
and with basic caregivers in africa unable to meet demands so we
00:05:39
have to do something different the number medical school places
00:05:42
is not going up exponentially it's not going up to meet demand so we have to look at some new rules
00:05:48
so we talk about the physician assistant the physician associate the medical
00:05:53
lesson ship the clinical assistant any of those on a box
00:06:00
it's not new
00:06:03
peter the great
00:06:05
had medical assistance in his arm is long goes the fifteenth century the swiss army base
00:06:11
had the barber surgeons seventeen century german felt shivers
00:06:18
so this is not a new concept the concept of having an assistant to the position is not me
00:06:25
the first time i discuss this in the united kingdom in two thousand and
00:06:28
three when i decided it was time to do something about it
00:06:34
and i wrote the first physician assistant program
00:06:40
my colleagues in dean's of medical schools in one a newspaper
00:06:45
article called me a medical heretic i quite like that
00:06:50
i quite like that but it's not new
00:06:54
this is something that has been around for centuries the barefoot doctor in china
00:07:01
today still today pack to sing in rural china providing most of the healthcare en route china
00:07:09
so this is an important part of our medical family providing really good health care and they're
00:07:17
flexible so this is our journey so far and the u. k. this long unwinding road
00:07:24
started off with me walking a path very very very alone
00:07:30
it was an interesting time but i was you gather and i would encourage
00:07:34
you as you're considering the physician assistant in switzerland to look at
00:07:40
supporting those for visionary supporting those who are leading the way with this
00:07:47
because it can be very lonely path
00:07:50
and even if you don't guess it right now even
00:07:54
if you're not totally convinced support your pioneers
00:07:58
i was talking to some yesterday
00:08:02
so the potential options i would tell in two thousand three was drawing invent something completely
00:08:08
different order look at what's happening in successfully us model starlight of the vietnam war
00:08:15
so in the nineteen sixties we how i had all these wonderful field medics you could
00:08:20
quite happily happened amputate of them in the field of battle with greater comes
00:08:26
would leave the military and have nothing to do all those skills all that knowledge was wasted so
00:08:33
you got to huge instead of duke university north carolina decided to do something about it
00:08:42
and started a a certificate program which is now grown there are some hundred and twenty thousand
00:08:48
physician assistants working in the us i almost as or one to ten ratio with doctors
00:08:57
over two hundred programs with the bomber care i grew even more
00:09:02
i think there's some in the region of thirty to fifty programs currently opening
00:09:07
in developing so being a good academic i decided to play drawings
00:09:14
and take all their learning in their programs and develop a program in the u. k.
00:09:20
so we knew there was a crisis looming we knew that
00:09:24
there was something driving us to think part of it
00:09:28
was poor workforce planning i don't know if that happens in switzerland it certainly happened in the u. k.
00:09:36
the number of doctors that we needed going forward with the number of medical school places
00:09:41
that were actually commissioned didn't work that the the math did not have that
00:09:48
so we have a crisis looming for our medical
00:09:52
for workforce lack of resources and shortages
00:09:58
the tony blair government
00:10:02
came up with the any chance planned and two thousand
00:10:07
and that talked about doing something different data services
00:10:12
better resources but at the same time we addressed
00:10:16
the working time directive for junior doctors
00:10:21
so forty eight hours maximum over a two week period each week
00:10:28
essentially cutter medical workforce almost in half
00:10:32
was it right of course it was right tire doctors don't make good decisions right we've seen this
00:10:42
we also have the modern lies in the n. h. s. workforce looking at how we develop something different
00:10:48
and so they came up with the medical care practitioner surgical care practitioner and this
00:10:53
after the same times those looking physician assistant and we brought that together
00:10:59
but it's important to define what a physician assistant position
00:11:03
associated that's if you don't have a clear definition
00:11:08
people will go pharaoh
00:11:12
they'll develop their own ways of working will develop their own methodology so the first thing that we did
00:11:20
after the established the first program was look at what we would talk about
00:11:26
commonly when we talked about the physician assistant or in the u. k. physician associate
00:11:33
so it's clear to say a physician associate is not a daughter that's okay just fine
00:11:40
but in your health care professional importantly working in a medical model they're
00:11:46
part of the medical family different from other groups of healthcare workers
00:11:53
and with that they have to choose skills the knowledge base that a doctor asked working in the
00:11:59
same space to deliver this holistic care and treatment
00:12:04
so one sweet actually did develop this
00:12:08
we then started looking at uh designing programs and this
00:12:13
is really important if i can really encourage you
00:12:16
if you're seriously considering physician assistants in switzerland
00:12:20
you need to develop really good university based education
00:12:28
some of the work that was done by of our code in the
00:12:31
late nineteen eighties talks about the movement from occupation to profession
00:12:38
if you don't structure this around high quality education
00:12:43
it will remain an occupation
00:12:46
and i'm strongly argue that the physician assistant as a profession they're part of the medical workforce
00:12:53
so we started our first program in two thousand and four and this is been our road map
00:12:59
this has been our journey so far it's been full of hot it's been full of dance
00:13:07
so we got our first program up and running in two
00:13:10
thousand and four we developed a higher education institute board
00:13:15
where the higher and education see the universities of
00:13:19
working together came together and discussed curriculum together
00:13:24
and in two thousand six we set a national standard which is hard competency in curriculum
00:13:31
framework for physician assistants and this means any
00:13:35
university wishing to start up the program
00:13:40
has to comply with the c. c. f. i'll come back to that in a few minutes
00:13:45
there's been times when some of the funding to support it was
00:13:48
withdrawn and the for programs that were open became one
00:13:54
but the momentum has been great and it's been driven by us has been driven by the clinician
00:14:05
why has the well because we're sitting on the front line we know what it's like
00:14:11
we understand the needs of our patients we understand the needs of all departments
00:14:16
we understand the long hours people are working and we understand that that need is getting more more more
00:14:24
we understand that we are the ones that should be driving it so this is their story now
00:14:33
the call me the grandfather of p. a. is in the u. k. i wish it
00:14:38
was the father i think a grandfather makes me feel a little bit old
00:14:44
two thousand and fourteen we had five programs today we have thirty four
00:14:51
that that growth has just been our watering i i look back at it and i'm very proud
00:14:57
of the fact that we've grown next year we will have our first four digit graduation
00:15:04
over a thousand physicians associates graduating from the universities in the u. k.
00:15:12
embedded in madsen
00:15:15
embedded in our health care does everyone know what they are
00:15:20
now my colleagues in the united states where i teach in kentucky in
00:15:25
in new york tammy after fifty years of p. a. is
00:15:31
people still say to the students what do you do what is it you want
00:15:36
but that's okay that's okay
00:15:40
the journey start small
00:15:44
so overall training it's i'll put all these office about three thousand two hundred hours over two years
00:15:51
this is hard hard work for the students there first agree holding students so they've all
00:15:57
done the degree and health or life sciences we're seeing an increasing number of nurses
00:16:04
change to be physician associates physical therapist psychologists radio buffers
00:16:11
and that's great because they bring clinical knowledge the other good thing about this is they've got life
00:16:16
experience these are not children these among young kids these are people who've been through university
00:16:22
i've got some life experiences and then we going to do this
00:16:25
two year master's level program sixteen hundred hours is taught
00:16:32
sixteen hundred hours is in clinical packed us including
00:16:37
or can include two hundred hours of simulation
00:16:43
the competence in curriculum framework uh this is the benchmark this is what every program has to follow
00:16:50
and they cannot deviate from it because set with than
00:16:54
it is to sections essentially unless it's with the
00:16:58
what we call the matrix of cool conditions this is broken down with this with the role colleges
00:17:04
well call just surgeons physician obstetricians in agony
00:17:09
our friends and a page and the college of emergency medicine
00:17:14
um and so there are two sections what physician assistants can
00:17:20
diagnose and treat and those that they would like nose and refer to the supervising physician
00:17:29
this is what we cover in sixteen hundred hours over two years it's intense it's a ninety
00:17:35
week program so they're doing forty five forty six weeks of the year
00:17:42
so i i want to show you how we split the step
00:17:48
so this is the this is the split of the clinical experience we have a large
00:17:53
section on general practised that's ever since our health minister very very quick helpfully
00:18:00
said he wants advise and p. a.'s in general practised quickly
00:18:05
so we had to reject this a little
00:18:07
but we cover in tournaments and primary care and then we go
00:18:13
into the specialities so we have emergency mats and mental health
00:18:18
option got any pediatrics general surgery and then there is two hundred hours of electives
00:18:24
so if the physician associates shouldn't wants to come work in vascular surgery
00:18:30
they can elect to have their elected with them vascular of the p. d. or the empty
00:18:39
we have a clear definition for competence it's and how they measured against the competencies
00:18:47
that's that's within the c. c. uh but this is an important slide at graduation
00:18:54
we expect the physician associated to work at the same
00:18:58
standard as a junior doctor that please see why
00:19:02
i've underlined this um they the comments at the bottom this does not mean the same level
00:19:08
that's important because that's a bit career progression into
00:19:12
training as a registrar and then those consultant
00:19:16
this is about the same standard so our physician associate should be able to
00:19:20
deliver the same standard of care is o. g. u. doctor at graduation
00:19:25
this is a typical program this is our program in birmingham um
00:19:29
we have theory focus in semester one three and four
00:19:34
intermingled without is from day one they're allocated to primary care physician
00:19:41
and they spend a day a week with the primary care physician from the beginning
00:19:47
is a lot of these people never sat in front of the patient before but it's important to get them into the clinical
00:19:52
to learn the art of madsen as well as the science
00:19:55
of that's to understand the choreography of the consulting room
00:20:00
then semester six we have additional theory and a lot
00:20:04
of simulation we use what we call our clinical
00:20:07
yeah at our clinical uh actors so these are actors who have been trained in the
00:20:14
medical school and they will simulate standardised patient i guess this would know the mass
00:20:21
they can pick an optional third year to top up the post graduate diploma to a master's of science
00:20:30
currently in the u. k. there's almost a thousand p. a.'s from next year there will be a thousand every
00:20:35
year coming out of medical schools and universities and these
00:20:40
are the areas that they're predominantly working in
00:20:43
internal medicine number of areas of surgery primary care mental
00:20:48
health and increasing we also losing conical academics
00:20:53
the marriage those who want to teach the physicians distance of the future
00:20:59
we're not alone so the pay a family is growing
00:21:05
so there are fifty one countries i'm privileged to have been
00:21:09
the past present of international academy a physician associate educators
00:21:14
and uh the conferences in zambia the sharon october if anybody would like to come
00:21:19
please speak to me um and the greatest number of p. a. analogue us
00:21:25
as in africa
00:21:28
the bean programs in africa since the nineteen sixties and earlier in tampa
00:21:35
the most significant growth has been in the u. k. we have programs in germany your programs
00:21:41
in the netherlands and we hope it would be nice to have programs in switzerland
00:21:48
and increasing number programs in the u. s. a. after the affordable care act
00:21:53
uh about like a that asia is really starting to develop a place
00:22:00
we're seeing growth in the middle east there's a program and siding
00:22:04
uh the uh looking a program and to buy a and i've been a talking
00:22:10
with the uh the united arab emirates about developing programs that in there
00:22:18
australia has been trying to develop programs for many years
00:22:22
but still struggling with there's a two programs uh currently
00:22:27
james cook university and uh was to strut
00:22:32
but slow growth but the biggest characters and we're still part of europe and
00:22:37
you're gonna claim it has the biggest growth in europe right now
00:22:43
so what is the conclusion to this
00:22:46
our current model of of medical provision it's failing it's not gonna work
00:22:54
the burden on doctors is going to increase if we do nothing different
00:23:00
and our ability to meet the needs of our population is it gonna become more more compromised
00:23:06
and we need to do this change at pace
00:23:10
we've seen the growth figures we nor demography we know what's happening in our countries
00:23:18
the physician associate works
00:23:22
it's proven and it's safe and it provides high quality care to our patients
00:23:32
as much as we don't like if we do have to embrace change and feel sometimes i'm getting too old to change but you know
00:23:40
i think that when you embrace change on this level the benefits are for not just the patients but
00:23:47
therefore junior doctors in training when you have a stable
00:23:51
wise junior doctor workforce from the physician assistant
00:23:56
you junior doctors in training have more protected learning time and
00:24:01
actually helps them but also in terms of our own
00:24:05
work life balance it absolutely has an impact to have to physicians uh seems to work on my project
00:24:16
we have this conditions
00:24:19
the responsibility we cannot disassociate ourselves from this it is our responsibility
00:24:26
to leave behind us as we get to the end of
00:24:29
our careers something sustainable for the population coming behind us
00:24:34
so that the responsibilities it's with us
00:24:38
and we have to make a global contribution
00:24:42
we can't sit comfortably when we have two point seven doctors per ten
00:24:49
thousand population and africa that's not something we can sit comfortably with
00:24:56
that is my message for you uh i hope that it generates some thoughts on
