Role, education, knowledge, skills and behaviours

The framework has a section for each level of practice, level 6 and level 7. The role and responsibility of staff at each level is described along with relevant qualifications and experience.  The knowledge, skills, and behaviours (KSBs) are then described for the clinical pillar of practice.

For core KSBs for each pillar of practice, please refer to the NMAHP Development Framework

The education, knowledge, skills and behaviour required by individual healthcare practitioners will differ depending on the current and emerging service need. However, these are not static and educational requirements of staff will change as services evolve. The framework provides flexibility to tailor learning to meet these individual needs. The knowledge, skills and behaviours are cumulative therefore staff working in senior and advanced roles will already have attained knowledge and skills described at the previous level.
