Below is a list of Advanced Practice programmes accredited by the NHS England Centre for Advancing Practice. You’ll find noted the name of education providers, their respective programmes, and their ‘First Intake Date’ (the date it was accredited from). If you graduated from one of these programmes and started after the first intake date, you are eligible for recognition through the Centre’s ‘Advanced’ digital badge.
If you graduated from a different programme or started before the first intake date, you’re not eligible for a Digital Badge through this route. However, you can still gain recognition by completing the ePortfolio (supported) route.
If your programme isn’t listed, please talk to your education provider. Please note, the Centre for Advancing Practice doesn’t choose which programmes are submitted for accredited for accreditation; that decision is made by the individual education providers.
To note, the term, ‘Legacy’, refers to an older, previously offered version of an advanced practice programme – not all education providers decide to submit their older, previously offered programmes for accreditation.
