The UK government will lay legislation today (13 December 2023) to allow the General Medical Council (GMC) to begin the process of regulating medical associates to expand their roles in the NHS. This will support plans to reduce pressure on doctors and GPs and improve access for patients, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said. Physician associates (PAs) and anaesthesia associates (AAs) will have the same levels of regulatory oversight and accountability as doctors and other regulated healthcare professionals once the regulations come into force, which is expected at the end of 2024. The GMC will design and deliver detailed regulatory processes for registration, education, standards and fitness to practise for both professions.

Are you attempting to eat healthy in order to prepare for your summer beach body? When it comes to achieving optimal body composition, following a healthy diet can be challenging. It's very easy to eat too many calories while eating foods that society considers to be healthy. It's important to remember that calorie counting isn't the only way to lose weight, and it won't be a long-term strategy either. So, here are some practical suggestions for maintaining a healthy weight while also toning your muscles. 1. LEARN ABOUT THE PROCESS OF PROTEIN-RICH FOODS Protein-rich foods are the most effective at curbing hunger and are essential for maintaining a healthy weight and body composition. An added benefit of caloric restriction is that it triggers the body's catabolic process, which results in the loss of both lean muscle and fat. Having a lower metabolic rate is one of the main causes of rebound fat gain when you lose a lot of muscle. Taking in a lot of protein throughout the day has been shown to help counteract some muscle loss and keep your metabolism going strong. As a bonus, high-quality protein can help control blood sugar and insulin levels, reducing the desire for sweets.
