Advanced practitioners (APs) are central to the delivery of safe, effective, and person-centred care for people living with frailty and approaching their end of life. This role requires clinical excellence, sound ethical judgement, and leadership across health and social care systems. This book is considered as part of the wider Advanced Practice series, providing an authoritative resource for APs who wish to evidence and extend their capabilities within these demanding fields. Frailty and end-of- life medicine bring together the highest levels of clinical reasoning and compassionate care. Advanced practice in these areas is defined not by a job title but by a level of expertise and accountability, characterised by autonomy, complex decision-making and the ability to work across traditional professional boundaries. APs are expected to integrate the four pillars of advanced practice including clinical practice, leadership and management, education, and research while managing uncertainty, multimorbidity, and rapid change. This volume builds on national developments including the Multi-Professional Framework for APs (NHS England, 2025) and the credentials for older people/frailty, palliative and end-of- life care, and acute medicine frameworks (NHS England, 2022; NHS England, 2023). It complements earlier titles in the Advanced Practice series, yet stands as a complete and independent guide. Each chapter combines evidence-based discussion with practical tools, reflective questions, and case studies, so that readers can map their learning to the competencies required for professional recognition and service improvement. Our aim is to equip enhanced practitioners, APs, and those preparing for consultant-level practice with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to lead high-quality care for some of the most vulnerable patients. By integrating clinical science, ethical reflection, and system leadership, the book supports readers to demonstrate the standards of advanced practice and to shape services that are both responsive and sustainable.
