Abstract
The role of Physician Assistant emerged in 1960s America and their number has increased to become a significant component of the health care workforce in that country. On the eve of a new policy regulating Physician Associates in the United Kingdom, the role of key actors in shaping the development of regulatory policies in the two countries is critically compared against a backdrop of very different political contexts and health care systems, to reveal the factors that might help or hinder the deployment of Physician Associates/Assistants and ameliorate workforce shortages.
