Combinations Podcast 98 - Insight into the Advance Practice Role

Join host Kyle for a special episode celebrating Advanced Practice Week (10th–15th November), shining a spotlight on one of the NHS’s most exciting and evolving roles, the Advanced Practice Nurse. Introduced in the late 2010s, this fairly new position bridges the gap between nursing and medicine, offering experienced nurses a new pathway to expand their skills, autonomy, and impact on patient care. On the Podcast with the Advanced Practice Nurses and current trainees, Kyle explores how the role is transforming care across wards and the community, the challenges and rewards of stepping into advanced practice, and what makes this hybrid role such a vital part of the NHS’s future. Whether you are a nurse considering the next step in your career or simply curious about how healthcare is evolving, this insightful discussion offers a fresh perspective on modern nursing and the people redefining what it means to care.
