Developing consensus for the pathway from Advanced Clinical Practice to Consultant Practice
led by Professor Kim Manley CBE, Emeritus Professor, Practice Development, Research & Innovation, Canterbury Christ Church University and Professor Robert Crouch OBE, RN, PhD, FRCN, FRCEM (Hon), University Hospitals Southampton and University of Southampton, UK
Having completed the multi-professional consultant practice capability and impact framework, the developmental pathway from advanced clinical practice to consultant practice is now the focus. A Delphi study is being used to clarify the capability and impacts expected at three stages in the career pathway:
the threshold for becoming a consultant practitioner from Advanced Practice;
at three years into consultant practice,
at three – five years.
Findings to date will be shared with the intention of developing greater consensus for the provisional findings and further insights from workshop participants.
