RCEM launches Advanced Clinical Practice Post-Credentialing Strategy
The Royal College of Emergency Medicine is pleased to announce the launch of its Emergency Medicine Advanced Clinical Practice (EM-ACP) Post-Credentialing Strategy, setting out a clear, supportive, and sustainable framework for the ongoing development of credentialed ACPs across the UK who continue to work in EM.
The new strategy outlines how RCEM will help support EM-ACPs’ lifelong learning, wellbeing, professional growth, and career progression. It also provides clarity for employers on how best to develop, support, and retain this highly skilled group of clinicians.
The strategy sets out expectations and guidance across three key areas:
- Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
- Clinical and professional development
- Governance and workforce standards
A new post-credentialing CPD ePortfolio is being developed to support ACPs document their development, record evidence, and maintain accountability in line with College standards, as well as a good practice guidance on CPD and governance
The EM-ACP Post-Credentialing Strategy is now available to view on the college website.
