Training will involve supporting you to become an advanced, skilled, generic practitioner with transferable skills and as such you will be required to be flexible to meet the needs of service. All training posts will include rotation to enable you to develop your skills. Trained ACPs will also have the opportunity to discuss rotations within role.
