Subsequently, Advanced Critical Care Practitioners (ACCP) were included within the scope. The report contained a review of the current education and training, career development and regulation of these professional groups, known collectively as Medical Associate Professions (MAPs). Additionally, an exploration and critical appraisal of options for developing a common, integrated education and training programme to underpin a quality assured route to statutory regulation was included. Developing a common career and education and training framework for these groups was recommended to enable a single application for statutory regulation. There are opportunities for joint learning (potentially a common first year) across the professional groups in areas such as anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, professional practice, history gathering, clinical examination. This would be followed by either further generalist training or specialist training, e.g. in anaesthesia or surgery.
