About Us

The e.version of the Advanced Practice Toolkit has been created to support consistent development of advanced level practice roles across NHSScotland.

The work has been undertaken under the auspices of the UK Modernising Nursing Careers Programme and we are working with UK stakeholders to support wider application of the toolkit.

The website is hosted by NHS Education for Scotland on behalf of the Chief Nursing Officer Directorate of the Scottish Government.

We welcome comments, suggestions and items for submission and would encourage all stakeholders to use the e.form on the home page or to contact us to discuss any issues.
