Examples of advanced practice-level job profiles
Building on this approach, three examples of advanced practice-level role profiles and KSF generic template broad post outlines are included on the website:
- advanced practitioner hospital emergency care team
- senior charge nurse
- advanced practitioner/team leader (community).
Further examples of advanced practice post outlines can be found on the e-KSF website.
These initial exemplars have been chosen to represent different operational contexts and different domains/themes of the broader advanced practitioner profile. Each has been developed in partnership either locally or with broad representation from the service and in line with national agreements in Scotland.
The KSF post outline templates demonstrate consistency across examples for common elements linked to advanced-level practice domains:
- KSF Core Dimension 1 - Communication - Level 4 (clinical, management/leadership, education domains of advanced practice)
- KSF Core Dimension 2 - Personal and People Development - Level 4 (management/leadership, education domains)
- KSF Core Dimension 3 - Quality - Level 3 (clinical, research domains)
- Relevant Health and Wellbeing dimensions - Level 4 - (clinical domain).
