How much are PAs paid?
UK trained PAs are required to complete a one year post-graduate paid internship. The newly qualified PA post has been evaluated under Agenda for Change [in Scotland] at Band 7. Higher level PAs (requiring a minimum of five years experience and a Masters Degree) have been banded at 8a. Physician assistants’ salaries with further training range from £45,000 to £54,000 currently. US PAs are often offered an annual flight back to the US along with funding for continuing medical education (CME) as part of their compensation as NCCPA certification maintenance is required for those working in the UK. Some American PAs have also been offered a stipend to assist them with relocation to the UK and repatriation to the USA.
