New Apprenticeship Standards are being developed in England which will replace the Apprenticeship Frameworks currently in use. These new Standards describe the skills, knowledge and understanding required to carry out a specific occupation. The groups developing these new standards are called 'Trailblazers'.
The Healthcare Trailblazer has developed a new standard for Advanced Clinical Practitioner. This development of a standard seeks to underpin advanced practice across nursing and AHPs so it is important to ensure the proposal enables the development of AHP ACP roles across all sectors/ all professions/all roles etc etc.
There are two ways to respond to this consultation:
- Going direct via the Government website by 10th March
- Or as part of the formal COT response as the Professional Body by emailing your comments to stephanie.tempest@cot.co.uk by Tuesday 7th March
