Leading Better Care the review of the senior charge nurse/midwife role and the − clinical quality indicators (CQI) initiative describes a modern senior charge nurse/midwife role that will enable frontline clinical leaders to maximise their contribution to delivering safe and effective care. The review aimed to support the role to ensure a visible, authoritative, credible and accessible presence for patients and families and to provide mechanisms that will give assurance to patients and the public that senior charge nurses/midwives are accountable leaders and managers of safe and effective care. The clinical coordination, leadership and management functions of the senior charge nurse/midwife to the wider multidisciplinary team highlights their roles as key decision-makers impacting on the delivery of safe and effective care for patients and users of the service. In parallel with the clinical education careers work, this project aims to demonstrate how the role of senior charge can be seen as matching the management/leadership aspects of advanced practice. The work is supported by an (NES, 2007) designed to assist senior charge nurses/midwives and service leads in identifying learning and development needs and support them in accessing appropriate learning and development activities, and/or academic education. The framework complements the Advanced Practice Toolkit and helps to ensure that continuing professional development activities are valued and embedded as a lifelong process. was developed in 2011 and aims to support learning and development and practical application of the leadership role. Modernising AHP Careers UK-wide project to develop a competence-based career – framework for AHPs The (MAHPC) work is a workforce initiative to maximise the contribution AHPs can make to transforming health and social care. There was a need to develop a flexible and responsive approach to allied health professions careers that reflects the diversity of the professions and the location and sectors they work in whilst, at the same time, maximising their potential to contribute to transforming patient care and promoting health and well-being. The MAHPC project has three areas of delivery in order to facilitate the development of a flexible and responsive AHP workforce. These are to: develop national workforce competences and ensure they are relevant to the work of AHPs and their staff irrespective of grade or location or sector map AHP roles on to the career framework
