Overview
Advanced clinical practitioners come from nursing or allied health professional backgrounds. They are registered healthcare professionals educated to at least master’s degree level.
Health Education England have defined what an advanced clinical practitioner is and outlined job entry requirements to ensure national consistency and that advanced clinical practitioners, colleagues, employers and patients understand the remit of advanced clinical practitioners.
The competency framework, which is being developed, will provide advanced clinical practitioners with guidance and principles to follow throughout their careers, which clearly outline the pathway into the profession and opportunities for career development.
