Advanced Practitioners

Advanced practitioners can be nurses, pharmacists, paramedics, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, dieticians, or podiatrists. They are educated to master’s level or equivalent, with the advanced skills and knowledge to allow them to expand their scope of practice to better meet the needs of the people they care for.

These practitioners work at a level that pulls together the four pillars of advanced practice, which are: 

• clinical practice
• leadership and management
• education
• research

Using their advanced skillset and knowledge, they can manage undifferentiated cases and provide supervision across multiple professional groups.
