THE ADVANCED PRACTITIONER A FRAMEWORK FOR PRACTICE (PB 2023)

An essential text for Advanced Practitioners

In The Advanced Practitioner: A Framework for Practice, a team of distinguished Advanced Practitioners (APs) and academics deliver the go-to text for trainee APs, with a strong focus on the four pillars that underpin advanced practice: clinical practice, education, research, and leadership.

The patient is at the core of this essential resource, which offers the knowledge required to care safely for people in a variety of care settings, as well as with a range of common and specialised holistic interventions. Readers will also find:

• A thorough introduction to the core principles of advanced practice, including the AP curriculum and the principles of physiology, pharmacology, and pathophysiology
• Comprehensive exploration of the clinical pillar, including discussions of clinical history taking and physical examination
• Practical discussion of the education and research pillars, including an exploration of research principles and education and learning
• Discussion of innovation in practice, the leadership pillar, and how to deal with difficult situations

Perfect for trainee advanced practitioners, The Advanced Practitioner: A Framework for Practice will also benefit healthcare students and trainee medical associate professionals.
