2:34Now PlayingPhysician associates (PAs) should be banned from giving diagnoses to "improve patient safety", the British Medical Association has said after a woman died from a blood clot which went undetected.
In 2022, actress Emily Chesterton, 30, died after being misdiagnosed twice. She believed she had been seen by a GP, but instead was assessed on both occasions by a PA.
Speaking to Sky's Ashish Joshi, Emily's mother Marion Chesterton said new regulation on PAs is "absolutely" needed following her daughter's death, which a coroner found was avoidable.
