080fd6ee-3ef9-4fac-9a27-325016259716 < Back Advanced Practitioner Advanced Practitioners are an integral part of the 21st century NHS workforce as new models of care are transforming the way patients are treated. Advanced Practitioners work at level 7 across the four pillars of advanced practice – clinical, management & leadership, research & education, and offer multiple benefits to the health service and the population. They bring more holistic care to patients, support continuity of care and extend the scope of practice across traditional boundaries. This leads in turn to a greater focus on prevention, more personalised care, a more efficient team, a faster response to patient needs and better outcomes. They are instrumental in supervising the multi-professional team in primary care, they attract and lead research and audits, and manage highly complex high-risk patients. They have a leadership role in the ICS around pathways and population health. www.hee.nhs.uk Welcome - Advanced Practice Building a recognised and visible advanced practitioner workforce is a priority for the NHS; there is a clear and identified need for highly experienced clinicians who are trained to an advanced level of practice.

Apprenticeships Apprenticeships Information Back to list Primary Care Academy offers apprenticeships to broaden the scope of training and development for existing staff, attracting new people to improve diversity within the workplace and bridging gaps in Primary Care. Heywood, Middleton & Rochdale Primary Care Academy offers apprenticeships to broaden the scope of training and development for existing staff, attracting new people to improve diversity within the workplace and bridging gaps in Primary Care. They provide a future workforce for clinical and non-clinical roles, counteract an ageing workforce, and simplify career progression in the NHS. Apprenticeship qualifications are available in many areas of Primary Care, including Business Administration, Healthcare, Team Leading, Customer Service and Management. Higher and degree apprenticeships bring together universities, employers, professional bodies and apprentices in a formal relationship to meet the economy's skills needs. Apprenticeships are a priority for us and we are working with various providers to help deliver a range of apprenticeships driven by employer demand. Good News Stories Here are some motivational words from our recent apprentices. Qualifications These are the apprenticeship qualifications that we have. FAQ’s Here you will find all the most frequently asked questions about apprenticeships. Apprenticeship Levels Apprenticeships are offered at different levels, with the most recent additions being degree and higher-level apprenticeships. Name Level Equivalent Educational Level Intermediate 2 GCSE (Or willing to work towards Maths & English qualification, alongside an apprenticeship) Advanced 3 A Level Higher 4 First Year of Degree Programme / Foundation Degree Higher 5 Second Year of Degree Programme / Foundation Degree Higher/Degree 6 Bachelors Degree Level Higher/Degree 7 Master's Degree and PhD Level Some apprenticeships may also give you an additional qualification, such as a diploma. Who Can Apply? You can apply for an apprenticeship while you’re still at school. To start one, you’ll need to be: 16 or over by the end of the summer holidays Living in England Not in full-time education Both new and existing staff can undertake an apprenticeship. There is no upper age limit. Apprentices must be aged 16 or older. Entry Requirements As each type of apprenticeship offers a different level of qualification on the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF), their entry requirements will vary. Generally speaking, they are as follows: To apply for an intermediate apprenticeship, you'll just need to be over 16 years old and no longer in full-time education. For an advanced apprenticeship, you're likely to be asked for prior work experience and at least three A*-C or 9-4 grade GCSEs or equivalent, such as an intermediate apprenticeship qualification. As higher apprenticeships are the equivalent of a foundation degree, HNC or first year of a Bachelor's, you'll usually need at least five A*-C or 9-4 grade GCSEs, as well as some Level 3 qualifications in relevant subjects, to apply. Your Level 3 qualifications could be AS-levels, a BTEC National or a Level 3 NVQ. Degree apprenticeships will have the tightest entry requirements. These may include three A-levels in a specified grade range or a higher apprenticeship qualification, on top of at least five A*-C or 9-4 GCSE grades. It's likely you'll be required to have prior work experience. The Apprenticeship Levy The Apprenticeship Levy is a levy on UK employers to fund new apprenticeships. This is paid by employers with annual pay bills in excess of £3 million. Depending on if you pay the levy or not, this is how apprenticeship training is funded Wage bill over £3 million? You will pay a levy of 0.5% on all wages over £3 million The money will be placed into a digital account 100% of your course fees are paid from your digital account Wage bill under £3 million with more than 50 employees? You don’t pay the apprenticeship levy 95% of apprenticeship course fees are paid by the government, and you pay the remaining 5% Wage bill under £3 million with less than 50 employees? You don’t pay the apprenticeship levy 100% of apprenticeship course fees are paid by the government for apprentices aged 16-18 95% of apprenticeship course fees are paid by the government, and you pay the remaining 5% for apprentices aged 18+ You can apply for apprenticeships at any time of year - whether you're successful depends on if an employer has a vacancy. You'll be able to check the specific entry requirements of your chosen apprenticeship once the position opens. How does a Primary Care organisation pay for training through the apprenticeship levy? The plan by the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) is that all employers have digital accounts by the end of 2019. A digital account is an online system that allows apprenticeship transactions to take place and levy payers to manage their levy budget. Levy payers were the initial priority, but this is now being rolled out to all employers. Until an employer who is a non-levy payer has a digital account, employers must agree a payment schedule with their apprenticeship training provider and pay them directly. What training can be funded through the apprenticeship levy? You can only use funds in your account to pay for apprenticeship training and assessment for apprentices that work at least 50% of the time in England, and only up to the funding band maximum for that apprenticeship. You cannot use funds for the following costs: Wages Statutory licences to practise Travel and subsidiary costs Work placement programmes Setting up of an apprenticeship programme What is a levy transfer? A levy transfer is a process a levy payer that is not utilising their apprenticeship levy funds can access to pay for the apprenticeship training of another employer. If that employer is a non-levy payer, it also means that the employer can access the same training provision that levy payers can use. There are many benefits to levy transfers, and more information can be found at the following link: haso.skillsforhealth.org.uk/funding/#levy-transfer Where can I find out more information? Health Education England and Skills for Health have a dedicated website for apprenticeships in healthcare.
