Key result
First Advanced Critical Care Practitioner Curriculum launches in Northern Ireland to address workforce shortages.
Why the study?
The increasing number of advanced practice roles in healthcare driven by medical education changes, economic pressures, workforce shortages, and complex population health needs motivated the development of a structured education programme.
Outlines the implementation of an Advanced Critical Care Practitioner Curriculum at a university in Northern Ireland to address workforce and healthcare challenges.
May address regional critical care workforce gaps; leaves open whether curricula improve outcomes or scale elsewhere.
The number of advanced practice roles in healthcare is increasing in response to several factors such as changes in medical education, economic pressures, workforce shortages and the increasing complexity of health needs of the population. The Advanced Critical Care Practitioner Curriculum, developed by the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine in the UK (United Kingdom), enables the development and delivery of a structured education programme which can contribute to addressing these challenges. This article outlines how one university designed and implemented this programme, the first of its kind in Northern Ireland. El número de roles de práctica avanzada en la atención médica está aumentando en respuesta a varios factores, como los cambios en la educación médica, las presiones económicas, la escasez de mano de obra y la creciente complejidad de las necesidades de salud de la población. El Advanced Critical Care Practitioner Curriculum, desarrollado por la Facultad de Medicina de Cuidados Intensivos del Reino Unido (Reino Unido), permite el desarrollo y la entrega de un programa educativo estructurado que puede contribuir a abordar estos desafíos. Este artículo describe cómo una universidad diseñó e implementó este programa, el primero de su tipo en Irlanda del Norte.
