The need to be assured that the chosen regulator will be best able to ensure effective public protection.The DHSC (Department of Health and Social Care) provided the following reasons for their choice. They currently estimate that regulation will be in place towards the end of 2024. The GMC are to take on the role of regulator for PAs and AAs.
Development is ongoing and with preparations underway for regulation, the role of the GMC may be crucial in the future of a combined MAPs career framework. These differences mean that developing a single career framework is challenging. MAPs differ in crucial ways in terms of the tasks they perform, the ways that they train and their entry requirements. The work of the subgroup has now been subsumed into HEE’s MAPs oversight board, on which the BMA is represented. The group’s task was ‘to describe quality management, training and a career framework for MAPs, so that a clear professional identity is developed which supports arrangements for statutory regulation’. HEE created a MAPs oversight board and invited the BMA to send a representative to its Career Framework & Quality subgroup along with representatives from employers, royal colleges and the devolved nations. This originally applied to PAs, AAs and SCPs with ACCPs added later (with ACCPs having withdrawn since). The move to bring the professions under a single umbrella began with HEE (Health Education England) in 2014, with the intention to work ‘towards a common education and training programme to support a route to statutory regulation’.
