Advanced Neonatal Nurse Practitioner Capabilities Framework

The purpose of this framework is to give a career pathway to ANNPs working in any level or unit or within the transport setting. This model makes clear how ANNPs can progress outside the limitations of the clinical rota by setting out a variety of career development pathways using the four pillars of advanced practice: clinical practice, leadership and management, education and research.

The framework sets out the capabilities expected under each of these pillars at the level of ANNP, Senior ANNP and Consultant Nurse.
