Developing and Retaining the Advanced Practice Workforce
The development and retention of the advanced practice workforce is a key strategic priority for the NHS. The 2019 NHS Long Term Plan highlights the crucial role of advanced practitioners in addressing both short-term and long-term workforce demands, while the 2020 NHS People Plan emphasizes the need to scale up and optimize advanced practice workforce development and deployment.
NHS England's Collaborative Approach
NHS England is leading this initiative by working across the health and care system to accelerate the growth of advanced practice capability and capacity in high-priority areas, including the support of new models of care. This work is spearheaded by the Centre for Advancing Practice, which is developing multi-professional, area-specific capability frameworks.
Area-Specific Capability Frameworks
These frameworks are designed to be integral components of Centre-accredited advanced practice Master’s degree programs. However, they can also be undertaken by practitioners who have already completed an advanced practice Master’s degree or demonstrated equivalent education through the Centre’s ePortfolio (supported) route.
Centre-endorsed area-specific capability frameworks outline the advanced practice capabilities needed to deliver safe, effective, and efficient services within specific areas of practice. By fostering career development opportunities within clinical roles, these frameworks are expected to improve the retention of highly skilled staff and contribute to workforce transformation.
