The BMA has failed in its attempt to halt the use of the term 'medical professional' to cover Physicians Associates as well as Doctors in the General Medical Council's guidance & administrative work... its appeal against last year's finding that PAs could be termed medical professionals failed in the High Court yesterday.

This leaves the possibility (as far as doctors & the British Medical Association are concerned) of a confusion for patients between (actual) doctors & PAs.
