@WesternHSCTrust @RoshinDubh @Paulamcgu1nness Thanks @RoshinDubh really helpful session!

@emsdunn_dunn @DermyQ @UrsulaK65194260 @ais_d @JulieBrayOT1 @LFitz07004016 Would be very interesting for any competency based interview for healthcare professionals! It would definitely level the playing field and allow those candidates to shine, whose nerves otherwise prevent them from articulating their knowledge, skills and experience!

[Christian van der Merwe @ChristianvdMPT]

@theRCN This consultation should include all professional staff working across the NHS in the whole UK.
It is well overdue to recognise professional staff who have developed advanced skills and deliver specialist services
I hope the CSP are looking at this with interest @thecsp @CSPNI1

[Christian van der Merwe @ChristianvdMPT]

@geeky_gillon However, unless the supervision & appraisal process changes to reflect these advances skill sets or indeed we use real time data to demonstrate the exceptional value (financial and outcome based) that ANPs and AHPs provide, sadly nothing will change in the long term

[Christian van der Merwe @ChristianvdMPT]

@geeky_gillon Absolutely agree that AfC does not reward any professional healthcare staff who assume additional responsibilities. ANPs & AHPs can prescribe, inject, request and interpret radiological investigations, just as senior doctors do but get no remunerative recognition of these skills!

[Christian van der Merwe @ChristianvdMPT]

@warner_md Brilliant to hear @warner_md!
Hope you have the very best Christmas!

[Christian van der Merwe @ChristianvdMPT]
