The apprenticeship has been designed in partnership with employers to ensure you become part of a multi-professional workforce.
Advanced practice training allows you to address medical staffing issues through delivering high quality, safe patient care. You’ll build the confidence and skills needed to carry out a range of interventions with a high level of autonomy, and to drive service improvements through reflective practice.
