TAP Accelerated Pathway Guidance
Governance considerations
what role were they in before, were the modules done for interest or for part of a relevant extended scope role such as an enhanced level practice role
If relevant may be taken into consideration but the trainee should be offered opportunity for full 3 years - will enable 3 years training grant and flexibility
Needs to be written down and signed to ensure shared understanding and transparency for all
Any changes in this must be formally agreed by AP Academy, trainee, LM and supervisor
There should be an agreed minimum time frame before the 8a gateway can be applied for, in agreement with the AP academy and ACP lead - considering which specialty specific skills are required for the AP to perform the role independently
If they have NMP as a stand alone module do they have recent prescribing experience / on the trust register / can demonstrate safe and competent prescribing decisions.
And if they have NMP is there an agreed timeframe in the pathway that they can use their prescribing rights?
Has the trainee completed blood transfusion training and if so at what point in their training should they use this?
Where would the line manager/AP academy / trainee be expected to have more autonomy in comparison their peers on a standard training programme and how would t
CASP/Portfolio requirements
Does the trainee have the capacity to gain experience in education/leadership/research whilst on the more demanding accelerated modules of the masters?
If the portfolio requirements are not met / the CASP is significantly delayed, should this affect training completion?
If a CASP occurs early then it is expected that a full years worth of evidence should be presented from the last CASP. Unless it is AP Academy approved that a proportionate amount will be accepted. Such as if academic calendar means that the trainee is ready to complete their training 10months into year 3 then 80% of the specified evidence amount is required and any other evidence needed to evidence the 4 pillars of practice
CASPs should be done at yearly intervals, unless this is pre- approved by AP Academy
HEI
Do the modules they already have align with the advanced practice role they are in? is there benefit to not RPELing all in to get any additional required courses fully funded
Are there any additional modules that would provide a benefit to the job role despite having enough credits (eg. minor injuries for ED ACP)
Do modules and cohorts align for the trainee to slot in with their academic year group?
Can the training all be completed at one HEI or is a tailored programme more appropriate?
When were the previous modules studied and would the HEI accept them to RPL in?
Supervision
if you have prior learning/modules that were obtained prior to becoming tAP then the tAP should not undertake independent clinical assessments unless they were doing so in their previous role. Any new work as a trainee
Will the trainee get a higher % of non clinical time on the accelerated programme?
Is the supervisor on board with increased meetings and supervision to support through an accelerated pathway?
If the trainee begins to struggle, what is the default plan to support? more training time / change to standard programme. How does that affect funding?
With less time, are there still ample opportunities to visit other clinical areas / AP academy study days / local study days?
Recognising previous experience
A staff nurse with 20 years of experience versus a specialist nurse with 6 years of experience both have transferable skills… but both are at different levels and not ACP.. and both have different time served
academic attainment does not equate to clinical experience, for relevant clinical experience to count it needs to be at an advanced practice trainee level, to ensure that the time served will equate to a 3year training programme
