Open to all

Credible and consistent governance of advanced practice in the NHS can be challenging, but it is vital in ensuring advanced practitioners' safe, effective, and successful employment. NHS organisations can now use the Governance Maturity Matrix to help them navigate this and improve patient care. 

The matrix was designed to enable NHS organisations to self-assess their progress around governing advanced practitioners and to facilitate improvement. 

We hosted a series of webinars in partnership with Health Education England (HEE) to demonstrate how organisations can use the matrix and showcase examples from NHS trusts.

Who attended

These webinars were intended for advanced practitioner (also commonly referred to as advanced clinical practitioners, or ACPs) leads or those who have responsibility for the governance of advanced practitioners in their organisation only.

An introduction to the Governance Maturity Matrix

On Monday 6 March, our speakers explored the current context of governance of advanced practice and give insights into using the matrix.

Speakers included:

  • The founder of the matrix, James Pratt, lead advanced clinical practitioner, Nottingham University Hospitals. 
  • Dr Julian Barratt, lead for the centre of advancing practice, Health Education England.

Using the Governance Maturity Matrix as an assessment tool

On Tuesday 28 March, this webinar showcased several case studies from trusts on how they have assessed their progress against each of the matrix domains. Speakers demonstrated how they collaborated in a community of advanced practitioner leads to assess progress in an ICS setting. We also heard from a community based and acute trust on the key challenges and enablers for effective governance of advanced practitioners.
