Return to ECF hub pageConsultant Practitioner Case Studies
Consultant Practitioners demonstrate expert clinical capabilities that are built on previously developed experience and learning. They display independent decision-making in complex situations to enable service development by generating an evidence base. They are at the forefront of their field and lead development of original thinking for fundamental change to achieve service evolution. The Consultant Practitioner strategically synergises the pathway, service, organisation and system by working with service users, partners and the practice community via local, regional, national and international perspectives to improve service delivery. Consultant Practitioners build and lead teams to facilitate strategic directional change. Possessing master’s degrees or the equivalent and holding or working towards a doctoral level qualification, they have the ability to research and analyse complex situations.
They will have significant clinical responsibilities and will usually also hold education responsibilities in both clinical and academic environments. They will demonstrate extensive leadership abilities.
