Download the Multi-professional framework for advanced clinical practice in England.
In 2017, Health Education England and NHS England and NHS Improvement worked in partnership to develop a national framework for advanced clinical practice, which ensures that there is national consistency and understanding about advanced level practice. This is the first time that a national framework has existed in England and has established a shared understanding of the advanced level practitioners and how they can be deployed to deliver better patient care.
The framework offers opportunities for mid-career development of new skills such as prevention, shared decision making, and self-care. The framework includes:
- a national definition of the role
- what the requirements for entry are
- guidance and principles that advanced practitioners should adhere to in their professional practice
- a clear career pathway into and within the profession.
