Advanced Practitioners Sample Clauses
The "Advanced Practitioners" clause defines the qualifications, roles, or responsibilities of individuals recognized as advanced practitioners within the context of the agreement. Typically, this clause outlines the specific credentials, experience, or certifications required for someone to be considered an advanced practitioner, and may detail the scope of services they are authorized to provide, such as advanced medical procedures or specialized consulting. Its core function is to ensure that only suitably qualified professionals perform certain tasks, thereby maintaining standards of quality and compliance within the relevant field.

Advanced Practitioners. Advanced Practitioners are experienced clinical/service professionals who have developed their skills and theoretical knowledge to a very high standard. They are empowered to make high-level clinical decisions and will often have their own caseload. They will normally be located at level 7 or 8 of the NHS Career framework. Organisations will already have some staff that either has the title or role that is considered to be that of an Advanced Practitioner. Consultant Practitioners are staff working at a very high level of clinical/service expertise and/or have responsibility for the planning of services, normally employed at level 8 of Agenda for Change. The Advanced Practitioner role is as described in the definition, a continuum from emergent practitioner to Consultant. The difference between the two is that the Consultant role requires four key functions: • Expert clinical practice (at least 50%) • Professional Leadership and Consultancy • Education Training and Development • Practice and Service Development The Advanced Practitioner would spend the majority of time (approximately 70 to 80%) in practice and the level of leadership and service development required of the Consultant role is beyond that of the Advanced Practitioner. The level of research activity and education of others is again beyond that of the Advanced Practitioner. The challenge for organisations is to recognise that the development of the new Advanced role will ultimately develop and prepare staff for new opportunities and roles at consultant level. The current consultant roles in many cases already have wider requirements than a single professional remit. This new development will extend the scope and potential for this and could provide an improved and extended platform for the consultant role of the future.
