The Advanced Practitioner: A Framework for Practice is the first of its kind. It provides a multiprofessional resource that uses the four pillars underpinning advanced practice as a framework: clinical practice, leadership and management, research and education. The text offers essential reading that is related to contemporary advanced clinical practice topics.
The Advanced Practitioner: A Framework for Practice has been written primarily for the trainee advanced practitioner. Advanced practitioners (APs) come from a range of professional backgrounds, including physiotherapy, pharmacy, paramedics, occupational therapy and nursing, practising across the age continuum and in a variety of spheres of practice, at the top of their licence. The focus of this text is on the adult person.
The advanced practitioner role offers the added value of an experienced clinician; it is a co‐productive role that meets the needs of populations. Advanced practice offers a vision for the development of the workforce in a way that is consistent, ensuring safety, promoting quality and resulting in positive patient outcomes.
Advanced practice programmes have been developed to meet national and local policy drivers for workforce transformation through a Master's level programme. Using a level 7 taxonomy makes clear the expectation that practitioners working at this level are required to perform at Master's level. The Advanced Practitioner: A Framework for Practice is cognisant of this and the chapters in the text mirror this.
Readers will develop their knowledge, skills and behaviours required to act with a high level of autonomy, enhancing their skills in holistic and systematic assessment, complex decision making along with the provision of high‐quality evidence‐based interventions for patients and their families. This text will support the reader undertaking a programme of study to strengthen their learning through the application of theory related to their scope of practice in the workplace and the academic setting. The text will also be of value to those advanced practitioners who are seeking to update and review their knowledge and understanding of the various topics associated with advanced practice.
Throughout The Advanced Practitioner: A Framework for Practice, the service user is placed at the centre of all that is done, as is the case in practice. Key to education and training is understanding the importance of the time and experience required to build confidence in decision making and the management of risk. The Advanced Practitioner: A Framework for Practice facilitates individual and organisational development.
This is the ‘go to’ text for trainee advanced practitioners, with content written by experienced advanced practitioners and academics who are closely involved in the delivery of advanced practice programmes. A range of curricula have been assessed and wide consultation with key stakeholders has been undertaken to derive content for the chapters and format of the text.
Trainee advanced practitioners will undergo frequent assessment, using approaches such as consultation, observation tools, clinical portfolios and case‐based discussion. Examination and procedural skills undertaken as part of the advanced practitioner role are assessed in practice. The trainee advanced practitioner is required to demonstrate competence, and there are a number of directly observed procedures that need to be undertaken along with the ability to ‘see’ the whole person and fuse biomedical science with the art of caring, providing health promotion advice, counselling, assessment, diagnosis, referral, treatment and discharge.
The Advanced Practitioner: A Framework for Practice focuses on regulatory body requirements such as those of the Health and Care Professions Council and Nursing and Midwifery Council. The text has been aligned to nationally established advanced practitioner curricula, including the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine (FICM), the Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) and the Royal College of Nursing (RCN).
Created for the busy practising clinician, the 21 chapters in this text have been written by a variety of experts in the field, across a range of specialties, and the information provided is accessible and engaging. Each chapter has been written using an approach that will enable the reader to delve deeper into essential subject matter, encourage curiosity and offer safe and effective care to people.
High‐quality colour illustrations, line drawings, tables, charts, graphs, and algorithms have been used in the comprehensive chapters to aid understanding as well as the retention of key facts. Pedagogical features are offered in such a way to support the trainee advanced practitioner to address the many curriculum requirements and to be successful when undertaking the various assessment challenges that they will face. These features aim to encourage the reader to delve deeper and challenge practice.
Containing numerous essential practical and theoretical components, The Advanced Practitioner: A Framework for Practice is the essential contemporary resource for all trainee advanced clinical practitioner as well as those healthcare students who are seeking to advance in this sphere of practice.
We sincerely hope you enjoy reading this text as much we have enjoyed editing it and providing you with a contemporary and useful resource as you make the transformation to advanced practitioner.

The aim of this chapter is to provide the context in which this book is set and a background to the development of and current state of advanced practice in England. It sets out the framework within which advanced‐level practice operates and how this has been utilised to structure this book to guide the reader through the fundamental aspects expected of advanced practitioners.
After reading this chapter the reader will:
understand the context in which advanced clinical practice operates
know the current policy reference points for advanced clinical practice
be aware of the themes that shape implementation of advanced clinical practice
comprehend the shared definition of advanced clinical practice.
Advanced‐level practice began to emerge in the United States as far back as the 1960s (Dunn 1997). Examples of developing trained healthcare professionals to take on additional advanced tasks and skills or extended roles can now be found globally. Comparisons have been made between the UK trajectory and that in Europe and Australia, with recognition that different countries, and professions, specialties or particular healthcare services are at different stages of developing models of advanced practice (AP). The nomenclature surrounding this subject area is not universally applicable across the globe and can often be confusing, therefore a detailed glossary of the application in the context of UK practice is included at the end of this chapter and Table 1.1 details the universally accepted definition of advanced clinical practice (ACP) within the UK.
TABLE 1.1 Definition of advanced clinical practice as defined by Health Education England.
Advanced clinical practice:
is delivered by experienced, registered health and care practitioners
is characterised by a high degree of autonomy and complex decision making
is underpinned by a Master's level award or equivalent
encompasses the four pillars of clinical practice, leadership and management, education and research
demonstrates core capabilities and area‐specific clinical competence
embodies the ability to manage clinical care in partnership with individuals, families and carers
includes the analysis and synthesis of complex problems across a range of settings, enabling innovative solutions to enhance people's experience and improve outcomes.

Initial development of AP roles is typified by a need to reconfigure services to address unmet need. Increasing life expectancy, complexity and disease burden, the European Working Time Directive and a subsequent shortage of medical personnel have often been cited as drivers for the implementation of advanced practice roles (Boulanger 2008; Evans et al. 2020; Torrens et al. 2020). However, caution is advised when rationalising their introduction and development to that of the medical substitution paradigm. Advanced practice roles complement existing medical models and are not designed to replace them. Since their inception, there has been great diversity in ACP roles and also some controversy surrounding them. Nevertheless, a colossal effort from professional bodies such as the Council of Deans of Health (CoDoH), the Association of Advanced Practice Educators (AAPE UK) and the royal colleges as well as HEE has led to a huge investment in workforce development in this area of service delivery, in order to meet patient needs in the future. Development in this area has also included the introduction of a multiprofessional definition of advanced clinical practice, the first of its kind, to provide clarity for employers, service leads, education providers, health professionals and ACPs themselves (HEE 2017) (Table 1.1).
Advanced practice has been evolving across the four UK countries over decades. Health Education England, NHS England, NHS Improvement and NHS Employers (2022) have developed the Advanced Practice Toolkit. This resource is aimed at practitioners, educators, employers, commissioners, those planning the workforce across systems and patients/service users. NHS Scotland (2018) have also developed an online repository of the national resources that pertain to all four nations.
