Assistant Practitioner Survey
Since the role Assistant Practitioner was introduced there
have been concerns raised about the ambiguity of the role in relation to their
development and the responsibilities they have been given. As a result Skills
for Health set up a Task and Finish group of stakeholders to develop core
standards for the role.
Research confirmed there was a variation in the
responsibilities, training and ongoing progression of Assistant
Practitioners, click here for full report.
Based on the report we have created standards for the
Assistant Practitioners that we would like you to comment on so we can
determine a common consensus on the core standards which can then be integrated
into local developments and the Assistant Practitioner can be identified as a
National Transferable Role.
So we can monitor your responses we have created a online
consultation which has been designed to take no longer than 20 minutes to
complete. The online consultation will remain open until the 31st July 2009,
your feedback is invaluable.
