30.10.2025- New education specialty at Newcastle University: Physician associate
The Newcastle University's Interprofessional Learning programme has expanded its scope. For the last three years, approximately 70 students annually have been divided into 15 multi-disciplinary groups. While previous cohorts included students from Medicine and Dietetics, in 2025, the program successfully integrated students from the Physician Associate course for the first time. The students' task on PKB involves reviewing custom case study patients and collaboratively filling in a care plan for lecturer review.
We are incredibly proud of our long-standing and successful partnership with Newcastle University. This collaboration has trained numerous students on the PKB platform, ensuring they graduate prepared to use digital patient-centered systems when they begin working for the NHS.
Feedback from the Director of Interprofessional Education for Faculty of Medical Sciences:
“The session went very well, the feedback from the students is very positive and PKB continues to support the sessions remain clinically authentic.”

They are currently reviewing case study patients (with conditions such as asthma and breast cancer) and filling in SOAP care plans for them. The University plans to roll out PKB to more courses soon.
