What are people's views / understanding of ACPs, PAs, FCPs etc in NHS?

Advanced clinical practitioners, physicians associates, first contact practitioners....
I work in the NHS and am unclear about the scope of practice of these NHS staff. Practice seems to be varied within the large teaching hospital I work at and also within my GP's practice and others in the local area.
Friends and family who I have asked have no knowledge whatsoever and I believe that a lot of people who are treated by ACPs and PAs probably think that they are being assessed and treated by Drs. I'm unaware of any campaigns to educate the general public about these changes in the way care is being delivered by the NHS.
My understanding is it is all part of the NHS 10 year plan workforce strategy to address increase demands and staffing pressures but I think the public communication has been / is lacking in the extreme; to the point of it being dangerous and negligent.

Don't see the point of physicians associate. Nurse practitioners can do far more. We have a few nurse associates, again I don't really see the point.

There's been much more to the NHS than traditional doctors & nurses for many years & alot of the more traditional & expensive roles will become redundant.
I've been treated by a variety of professionals & actually the worst experiences have been by doctors who are too arrogant to consider they might be wrong.
I think AI will probably mean the end of GPs for example.
