Why Join AAPE

AAPE UK Full Membership

Full Membership of the AAPE UK is Higher Education Institution based (rather than based on individuals). Thus, there is no restriction on the number of individual AAPE UK members represented from each HEI.

Full AAPE UK membership is open to any Higher Education Institute delivering full postgraduate advanced clinical practice education to multi-professionals including nurses, allied health professionals, pharmacists, midwives, healthcare scientists in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England.

Each Full Member HEI will have a designated contact person responsible for authorising the payment of the annual membership fee, replying to circulated emails and updating the other interested parties from the HEI.

Co-option of advisors with specific expertise for AAPE UK activities is offered by the Committee as the need arises and will be recorded separately from the AAPE UK Full membership list as ‘Co-opted advisor’.
