Abstract
Aim: To identify research that had been conducted in UK settings with regard to the positive impact or potential benefits of ‘Advanced Clinical Practice’, so that the evidence base for key stakeholders in this field could be evaluated. Method: Mixed method systematic literature review to inform a narrative interpretive synthesis. Findings: 44 papers of mixed quality were identified that had used a range of methodology. Convenience sampling was a common feature drawing upon sub-sets of the diverse ACP community. There was an absence of longitudinal research, however consensus was found regarding the definition, barriers, and facilitators of ACP; that it can be split into ‘substitution’ and ‘supplementation’ roles, and that the clinical practice element of the role dominates. Variation is evident in the training and education, scope of practice, and regulation of ACP. Conclusion: Previous research conducted highlights challenges for the effective implementation of ACP and realisation of its benefits for key stakeholders.
