What is an Advanced Clinical Practitioner?
Advanced Clinical Practitioners (ACPs) come from various professional backgrounds, including nursing, pharmacy, and allied health professions. Master’s level education means that these professionals have developed the skills and knowledge to take on expanded roles and scope of practice in patient care. ACPs practice autonomously and with expertise to ensure the best possible outcomes for patients in different healthcare settings including Primary Care. Advanced Clinical Practitioners will incorporate the four ACP pillars: clinical practice, leadership and management, education, and research in delivering excellent patient focused care.
