    Advanced Practice Competency Framework
    (Irish Society of Chartered Physiotherapists, 2022-03-24) ; ; ; ;
    This framework represents the ISCP’s position on Advanced Practice Physiotherapy (APP) including ● What is meant by an advanced level of practice in physiotherapy ● The competencies required for physiotherapists performing at an advanced level of practice ● The education infrastructure required to enable this advanced level of practice. Advanced practice is a level of practice rather than a specific role. It reflects a high level of clinical autonomy and the use of advanced critical thinking to deliver care to patients with complex needs safely and competently1. It is not possible to define all the activities, clinical processes and interventions involved in advanced practice as these will reflect the needs of the patient and the service. Advanced practice will continue to evolve and develop, as services and the profession respond to patient and population needs. Individual elements of advanced practice will be incorporated into practice or developed further at advanced level as skills and knowledge grow and are refined1
