A Roadmap to Practice is a supportive document that provides a clear educational pathway from undergraduate to advanced practice for clinicians wishing to pursue a career in Primary Care. There is a Roadmap to Practice page where all national updates will appear as well as FAQs and details of webinars that will be taking place.

We are currently in the process of reviewing the Roadmap Supervision Verification (RMSV) course. We will update this section as soon as we are able to.

Please note that other regions may have RMSV upcoming courses. Contact details can be found on RMSV courses webpage.
