PCN RESOURCES HOME PAGE RESOURCES A-Z RETURN TO MAIN SITEPhysician Associates provide first point of contact care for patients presenting with undifferentiated, undiagnosed problems. They utilise history-taking, physical examinations and clinical decision-making skills to establish a working diagnosis and management plan in partnership with the patient (and their carers where applicable). They can play a pivotal role in identifying those at risk of malnutrition, carrying out screening and assessment, giving nutritional advice, and referring on to an appropriate healthcare professional for more detailed assessment if required.
