dkuhns1 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 The University of Aberdeen will be launching a program in Sept, and as part of the initiative there will be at least three posts coming open for experienced PAS to work in BOTH a clinical and an academic role--involved in clinical teaching, exam and procedural skills. As currently being discussed there will be a need for PAs in the following areas: emergency medicine, (breast) surgery, and internal medicine/hospitalist. You should be seeing adverts in the coming weeks. In the meantime, if you have questions abut the development, feel free to PM me. Cheers, D- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lszynskie Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Hello! I have been a PA in the state of Pennsylvania for 3 years working in Oncology. I have recently been interested in opportunities in Scotland for US trained PA's. Any information or contacts would be greatly appreciated. I am not clear as to how feasible the employment is there and if the NCCPA credentials are accepted there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkuhns1 Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 Hello! I have been a PA in the state of Pennsylvania for 3 years working in Oncology. I have recently been interested in opportunities in Scotland for US trained PA's. Any information or contacts would be greatly appreciated. I am not clear as to how feasible the employment is there and if the NCCPA credentials are accepted there? yes, there have been and still are US PAs, as well as UK trained PAs working in Scotland over the past several years. Best bet is join The UK Association of PAs (ukapa.co.uk) as they have the job lisitings , discussion board and they are best links for what is happenng in Scotalnd and across the UK. there is also a link on the ukapa website to the Scottish report on the experience of having PAs in the Scottish NHS, it is very informative and may help shed some light on the matter. and if/when u want to pursue it, i can put you in touch with key players there.

annie219 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Hello I just posted a new thread in the International PA section, but I see here the discussion for Scottish PAs has begun. I am currently working in Scotland as a US trained PA (working in the UK for over 3 years now) and the hospital I am employed at is looking to hire 3 PAs to add to a very busy Orthopedic Department. We are willing to train new graduates, however, at present, there are no new graduates within Scotland that are looking for work outside of Aberdeen. I believe in the next couple of years, there may be some Scottish-trained PAs who would be great to bring on board. For now, it would be great to have an experienced US PA to join me as a lead PA in the department with the possibility of training students/new grads that may join the team in the next year or two. As far as I am aware, there may be another job posting on the NHS website and I'm hoping to use the AAPA joblink as well as UKAPA to advertise the posts. If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to hear more about you and answer any questions you may have either on or off the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
