A coroner has said the public is being misled over what an NHS physician associate (PA) does after a woman died following hospital failings, including being misdiagnosed with a nosebleed. Pamela Marking went to A&E at East Surrey Hospital in February 2024 after vomiting blood and having tenderness in her side.
She was told by a PA she had a nosebleed and was sent home, but the 77-year-old actually had a hernia and died four days later following complications with her care after being readmitted to hospital.
