Key Themes & Principles • Leadership • Facilitating Learning • Research • Advanced Clinical Practice • Autonomous practice, • Critical Thinking, • High Levels of Decision Making & Problem Solving • Values-Based care • Practice Improvement
KSF Outlines/ Job Descriptors/Profiles • Development of a national job profile and KSF outline templates for ‘Advanced Nurse Practitioner’ roles. • Outline will support consistency across contexts with ‘Exemplars’ for different clinical/operational contexts – Community, H@N, SCN, Mental Health, Children etc.
Activity Analysis • Development of prototype data collection and analysis tools • Aim to support training needs analysis and good governance regarding matching client need to service delivery. • Job Profiling/Planning • Data capture • Benchmarked AP characteristics
Identify type of indicator (Structure, process or outcome) Activity Analysis & Measuring ANP impact Identify dimension of quality to be measured • Benchmarking - National, Regional & Local level • Clinical Activity Data – National data, PANDORA or local systems • Developing Indicators (Lloyd 2004) - McMaster University APN Toolkit - ? Minimum clinical activity data set (Concept & Indicators) Set specific indicator Develop clear operational definitions Develop a data collection plan Test and Refine Data Collection Analysis Action
Educational Framework • Role development requires Development Needs Analysis and educational support • Agreement across the sector regarding Masters level and ‘core’ and context specific’ requirements for Advanced Practice development programmes. • NHS Education for Scotland ‘Advanced Practice Succession Planning Pathway’ • Model acknowledges existing education provision and the value of work-based learning and assessment
HEI - Electronic Proforma • University title • Background and links to agenda (250 words) • Advanced Clinical Practice focused programmes - MSc,PgD, PgC • Individual modules - • Leadership/Management focused courses – • Research focused courses – MPhil, PhD • Education focused courses - PgCert Education • Recognition of Prior Learning • KSF, AP Competencies and other relevant mapping • Application Download link • Contact Details and email link
Mapping outcomes from educational provision to AP competencies • HEIs map their programmes/courses against the Core & Specific AP competencies • Practitioners access web page and select their role profile and the courses they have undertaken from a pre-populated list • Their AP profile/competency list is populated with the matched educational outcomes from the courses undertaken • ‘Missing’ competencies are identified so that practitioner/manager can arrange appropriate provision or seek other evidence of achievement. • On going competence review is essential
Masters level – CPD ? • Need to demonstrate Masters level thinking/practice. • HEIs and Service could develop limited credit Masters level CPD units. • Only available to individuals who have completed their initial ANP preparation, achieved competencies and have attained the minimum of a Degree. • Advantages to Practitioner • Advantages to Service • Advantages to Higher Education • Possible issues
Workload/ Workforce Analysis • Service Need – Service Design – Skill Mix • Workforce/Workload Planning tools for robust and standardised measures that support the efficient targeting of nursing resources towards areas of need - beyond merely ‘numbers of nurses’ towards determination of skill mix. • NHS National Workforce Projects ‘Six-steps’ Workforce Planning Process
Regulatory Guidance • Ensure that the regulatory position of advanced level practice roles is fully linked to devolved and UK-wide governance principles, processes and responsibilities. • ANP regulation is co-dependent on many other aspects of the White Paper and linked to the NMC’s work on revalidation and establishing a robust system for how practitioners demonstrate continued fitness for practice. • Common definition of ‘Advanced Practice’ across professions
