Please read my short paper in

@alisonleary1
for presenting a clear & coherent account✅
We need to have some transferable standardisation of ACP skills and knowledge across clinical settings. For example if an ACP can make clinical imaging requests in one NHS Trust, why can’t they correspondingly do that in another NHS Trust?

Congratulations to all nurses receiving honours.
