Fatal Misdiagnosis: Don't Let Anyone Else Die Like Our Daughter Did

The parents of a 30 year old actress from Salford who died after a fatal misdiagnosis by a physician associate, are calling on the government to overhaul the guidelines on how PAs work. Emily Chesterton died in 2022 after visiting her GP. She thought she'd been seen by a qualified doctor but in fact it was a physician associate. Emily had a blood clot in her calf but was sent away with a beta blocker and a diagnosis of long Covid. Last week her mother Marion was invited to speak to delegates at the launch by the BMA of new guidance outlining how physician associates can work safely and effectively in the NHS. Marion and her husband Brendan now want this guidance to be taken on in full by the government to ensure that what happened to Emily never happens again.
