Summary
The trainee Advanced Clinical Practitioner (t-ACP) will be practicing under supervision as a trainee within clinical placement areas to provide advanced patient-centred care. This will encompass the skills of assessment, examination, diagnosis and treatment within an agreed scope of practice throughout the clinical placements.

Throughout the training programme the post holder will develop the skills of an autonomous
practitioner ensuring that evidence based practice is inherent in all aspects of care and treatment.

to be able to work within an autonomous and defined sphere of practice, maintaining records

This training programme will equip the post holder with the skills and knowledge to utilise and extend their existing primary field of professional healthcare practice.
The validated training programme will create opportunities and forums to consolidate theory and practice at an advanced level using specialist knowledge and evidence based practice.
The t-ACP will develop skills in triage of new referrals within clinical placements independently or with clinical/ medical colleagues and in making onward referrals, maintaining professional and legal responsibility and accountability for all aspects of their own work.
