The Annual Faculty of Physician Associates Conference 2023

The in-person conference took place on Friday 8 December. You can secure access to all content online until Friday 1 March 2024. You will then have until Friday 22 March 2024 to obtain up to 23 CPD credits. 

The annual FPA conference is the largest of its kind designed and delivered by PAs for PAs. On Friday 8 December 2023, we will once again bring together hundreds of PAs and PA students from across the UK.

#FPAConf23

Together, they’ll be guided through the future of medicine from the PA perspective. This year, we’re delighted to be delivering this unique experience in person, to support PAs in their practice and equip them with the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to continue evolving in their roles.

The FPA is committed to catering for everyone and there is the choice to join the conference in person in RCP Regent’s Park, London or RCP at The Spine, Liverpool and online (post-conference)*.

In-person ticket availability in both locations is limited, and we encourage delegates to secure their place at the earliest opportunity. As part of the FPA’s commitment to members, a larger scale in-person conference is being investigated for the future.

Whether attending in London, Liverpool, or online (post-conference) delegates will explore:

  • over 15 areas of medicine
  • what regulation means for the profession, and how to prepare for the next stage
  • the future of patient care across primary and secondary care
  • the importance of maintaining personal health and wellbeing.

Each location will provide two streams of content focusing on PA development clinically and personally. Diversity is key, and unique content will be delivered by a range of skilled and exciting speakers in both locations. All delegates will have access to all content from both locations online after the conference.

For conference updates and to join the conversation on social media use #FPAConf23.

*Please note, the conference will not be broadcast live on 8.12.23. Content will be recorded in both sites and uploaded onto the conference platform from Friday 15 December 2023.
