Enhancing advanced clinical practitioners' non-clinical skills.

Abstract

This article examines the setting up, running and content of a study day for advanced clinical practitioners (ACPs) at the Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust, aimed at enhancing non-clinical competencies in leadership, education and research. Despite a structured national framework, ACPs often report limited support in these areas. The event provided targeted education, encouraged a sense of community, and received positive feedback, showing improvements in participants' knowledge, confidence and professional connections. Recommendations include making this an ongoing initiative to support comprehensive skill development.
