Advanced Practice Podcast - Episode 4, Advanced Critical Care Practitioners

This episode of the HEE South West Advanced Practice podcast series explores the benefits and challenges for Allied Health professionals entering Advanced Critical Care Practitioner Training. The ACCP role can be viewed as predominantly a role for ICU nurses, however there are great advantages to the ICU team and AHPs undertaking this career pathway. In this podcast we explore how the previous skills, knowledge and experiences of a critical care physiotherapist and a senior paramedic provide a valuable foundation for ACCP training.  We explore some of the myths, challenges and benefits of joining the ICU team in an advanced practice role from an AHP background. Host - Carole Boulanger HEE SW Supervision & Assessment Lead for ACCP, Senior ACCP and paramedic by background.  Guests - Adam Smith, trainee Advanced Practice ACCP and Romain Lefebvre a Critical Care Physiotherapist.
