The apprenticeship is suitable for a range of health care professionals who are looking towards, or are currently working in, an Advanced Clinical Practice role.

  • The programme provides specialist knowledge and skills for independent practice to equip professionals for the challenges of modern health care.
  • The apprenticeship includes advanced health assessment, decision making and non-medical prescribing. This complements additional components such as leadership, management, critical appraisal, professional ethics and reflective practice.

Participants will implement the learning on the apprenticeship into their clinical workplace context.

The apprenticeship also recognises the individual nature of your role and allows consideration of the remaining proportion of the learning through the apprenticeship to support this.
