Area-specific capability frameworks are regularly reviewed to remain responsive to evolving population needs and current best practices. Additional frameworks under development will also be considered for Centre endorsement.
In 2021, we piloted our credential specification endorsement approach by applying it to advanced practice resources previously commissioned by Health Education England (now NHS England).
Centre-endorsed frameworks aim to build multi-professional advanced-level capability and capacity in targeted areas, addressing critical population, patient care, and service delivery needs. These area specific capability frameworks should be integrated into advanced practice Master’s degrees or pursued after completing an advanced practice MSc (or demonstrating equivalent educational attainment).

We are collaborating with stakeholders to develop a strategic area specific capability framework implementation plan. That focuses on promoting, supporting, and assuring the quality of Centre-endorsed area-specific frameworks. This initiative responds to workforce development needs, ensuring high-quality delivery and widespread adoption.
