The Health and Social Care workforce is changing and the assistant practitioner is part of this Government reform in modernising the workforce to work differently and more efficiently to improve the care given to users of the service. With this modernisation, new support roles are being created which require the need to provide skilled assistance to registered practitioners. More details can be found on the FdA Main Page.
