What does ACPF mean in CLINICAL MEDICINE

An ACPF is a specialized training program which allows healthcare professionals to gain advanced knowledge, skills and experience in their chosen field of clinical practice.

ACPFs are open to qualified health professions including nurses, midwives, paramedics and allied health practitioners. Candidates will typically have experience in the relevant profession prior to applying.

ACPFs provide opportunities to specialize in a particular area of clinical practice including surgery, paediatrics or obstetrics, among others.

Advanced Clinical Practice Fellowships usually take one year to complete but can be shorter or longer depending on the program requirements.

The specific eligibility requirements vary by program but applicants must typically have a degree-level qualification relevant to the field they wish to gain expertise in as well as experience working with clients or patients in that specialty. Additionally, some programs may require applicants to undertake pre-fellowship assessment processes prior to being accepted onto a fellowship scheme.
