Course details
The Enhanced Clinical Practice Apprenticeship has been developed for Allied Health Professionals to offer post-registration opportunities to support your development as a healthcare professional. Enhanced Clinical Practitioners are qualified health and social care professionals who are working at an enhanced level of practice with specific knowledge and skills in a field of expertise.
This course and apprenticeship are aligned to priorities addressed in the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan. The course has been mapped against the Enhanced clinical Practice schema for 4 professions which are osteopathy; physiotherapy; dietetics; and occupational therapy. The course is part-time and delivered through blended learning.
