Physician associates are seeing fewer patients and working under restricted scopes of practice since the Leng review was published, a survey has suggested.

Of almost 500 PAs responding to a United Medical Associate Professionals (UMAPs) online questionnaire, 76% said their scope of practice had been reduced since the Leng review announced its findings last summer.
