Abstract
Advanced clinical practitioners (ACPs) are master's-level educated, experienced and competent nurses or allied healthcare professionals who practise a high degree of autonomy and undertake complex decision-making. This article offers a reflective account of advanced clinical practice in an older person's unit specialising in rehabilitation and complex discharge planning. It illustrates how ACPs work autonomously with medical colleagues to provide patient-focused care, enhance the multidisciplinary team and provide safe, high-quality care. The article also describes various aspects of the role for nurses or allied healthcare professionals who might consider this career path.
