What to expect
Advanced Practice is evolving quickly — and so are the expectations placed on those working at this level. Clinical expertise is only one part of the picture. Today’s Advanced Practitioners need confidence in leadership, education, research and strategic thinking to deliver high-quality, future-focused care.
This one-day study day shines a spotlight on the non-clinical Pillars of Practice, providing a dedicated space to explore what it truly means to thrive as an Advanced Practitioner. Whether you're an ACP trainee or fully qualified, this event is designed to spark ideas, strengthen professional identity and build a sense of belonging within the AP community.
Through a mix of presentations, reflections, panel discussions and real-world examples, you’ll explore:
- The current landscape for Advanced Practice
- How APs lead, teach, innovate and influence beyond the clinical arena
- Practical considerations for developing your portfolio
- Appraisals, supervision and navigating professional expectations
- How APs drive service improvement, shape culture and support workforce sustainability
The day blends inspiration with practical tools you can bring straight back into your role — helping you grow with confidence and clarity.
