Recognition of education, training and experience in advanced clinical practice through a national multiprofessional scheme: A narrative review from a radiographer participant

Abstract

The Multi-professional Framework (MPF) for Advanced Clinical Practice in England defines the essential capabilities required of advanced clinical practitioners. The Centre for Advanced Practice ePortfolio (supported) route provides a pathway for these practitioners to gain formal recognition, confirming that they meet the educational and experiential standards for advanced practice. This narrative review examines how a diagnostic radiographer from the first cohort successfully demonstrated these capabilities, using excerpts from their ePortfolio and examples of supporting evidence. The review aims to highlight activities characteristic of advanced practice in diagnostic radiography and radiographic reporting, and how they can be effectively documented to demonstrate fulfilment of the MPF capabilities.
