Life as an Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) with Dan Dutfield

In this conversation, we will look at the life of an Advanced
Clinical Practitioner (ACP). We will dig into what the training
looks like, the autonomy involved, the various specialisms you
can take, what Dan has learnt along the way and much more. As
more and more alternative career pathways are opening, we explore
if this one is an attractive option. We also look at the
alignment to the Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM)
curriculum and how this shapes Dan's practice, skills and
clinical decision making. ACPs play a vital role in the delivery
of emergency care across the UK. They now make up over 10% of the
college membership. There are over one thousand ACP members and
this number is rapidly increasing. ACPs are represented on all
major RCEM Committees.


We also examine some of the educational expectations outside of
the RCEM curriculum to fulfil the role as an ACP and also some of
the various clinical backgrounds that ACPs come from. To find out
more about the ACP role you can visit the RCEM website, menu, -
