Research on Advanced Clinical Practitioners (ACPs) conducted by Suzanne Ablard, NIHR Yorkshire and Humber Applied Research Collaboration (YHARC) Urgent Care Theme researcher has extended its reach beyond traditional academic channels. The work has been referenced and disseminated through both the Emergency Medicine Journal (EMJ) podcast and a dedicated editorial.
The EMJ podcast “Dementia care, supporting ACPs, and handling hidradenitis suppurativa: March 2025 Primary Survey” incorporates findings from the YHARC-supported research, focusing on ACP integration in emergency care settings and evidence-based approaches to training improvement.
Additionally, the EMJ editorial “How can we improve on advanced clinical practitioner training?” directly engages with the research evidence, translating findings into practical considerations for ACP education and professional development.
This multi-channel dissemination represents a core YHARC objective: ensuring locally-conducted research effectively reaches practitioners and policymakers who can implement evidence-based improvements in healthcare delivery across the Yorkshire and Humber region.
